Response of integrated nutrient management on vegetative growth and flowering characters of gladiolus (Gladiolus grandiflorus) cv. white prosperity

Abstract

The experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design with 13 treatments and 3 replications. The experimental findings was revealed that the treatment T11 (75% RDF+ FYM +Azotobacter +PSB)showed better response viz. early sprouting, number of sprouts, number of leaves, fresh and dry weight of plant inand T12 (75% RDF+ VC +Azotobacter +PSB) better response viz. plant height, early spike initiation, opening of first floret, duration of flowering, length of spike, diameter of spike, length of rachis, number of florets per spike, diameter of florets, spike yield of gladiolus.
