| dc.description.abstract | A field investigation entitled " Effect of different horticultural techniques on corm and flower production of gladiolus" was carried out during the years 2017-18 and 2018-19 at Floriculture Unit, Department of Horticulture, Dr. PDKV, Akola with the objectives to study the effect of different horticultural techniques on corms, cormels and flower production of gladiolus and to find out suitable horticultural techniques for flower, corms and cormels production in gladiolus.The experiment was laid out in Completely Randomized Design with three replications. The treatments comprised of eight different horticultural techniques viz. Jumbo size corm (>5.1 cm), large size corm (3.8-5.0 cm), medium size corm (3.2-3.7 cm), small size corm (2.5-3.1 cm), mechanical removal of apical bud (3.2-3.7 cm), half corm division (3.2-3.7 cm) and clipping of leaves (3.2-3.7 cm). The result of the present investigation indicated that, minimum days to sprouting of corm, maximum number of shoots plant-1, length of leaves and breadth of leaf were recorded with the jumbo size corm and this was followed by the large size corm. Whereas, maximum days to sprouting of corm, minimum number of shoots plant-1, length of leaves and breadth of leaf were recorded with the small size corm, manual removal of apical bud and half corm division treatment. The maximum plant height and maximum number of leaves per plant at 30, 60, 90 and 120 DAP were obtained from jumbo size corm which was followed by the large size corm. Whereas, minimum plant height and minimum number of leaves plant-1 were recorded in small size corm. Minimum days required for spike emergence, days to first floret opening and days to 50 percent flowering were recorded in jumbo size corm followed by the large size corm. Maximum diameter of corm, weight of single corm, weight of corms and cormels plant-1, weight of corms and cormels ha-1 were recorded in jumbo size corm which was followed by large size corm and minimum were recorded in small, apical bud removal and half corm division corm treatments. Quality parameter in respect of maximum length of spike, diameter of spike, length of rachis, number of florets per spike, diameter of open florets and vase life of spike were recorded in jumbo size corm as compared to other treatments in study. | |
