Effect of integrated nutrient management on corm and cormels production of gladiolus cv. PDKV Gold

Abstract

The present investigation entitled, “Effect of integrated nutrient management on corm and cormels production of gladiolus cv. PDKV Gold” was carried out during the years 2018-19 and 2019-20 at College of Agriculture Garden, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola (M.S.).The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications and thirteen treatments. The results of the experiment revealed that, yield parameters viz., corms plant-1, corms plot-1, corms hectare-1 and cormels plant-1were recorded maximum with the treatment of 75% RDF + 8 t Vermicompost + Azotobacter + PSB. Whereas, quality parameters viz., diameter of corm, length of corm, weight of corms plant-1 and weight of cormels plant-1were recorded maximum under the treatment 75% RDF + 8 t Vermicompost + Azotobacter + PSB.
