| Abstract: |
An experiment was conducted to assess the effect of corm size and varieties on
growth performance and cut flower characteristics of gladiolus in the farmer’s
field at Gunjanagar VDC, Chanauli, Chitwan during November 2008 to April
2009. The experiment consisted of 12 treatment combinations laid out in twofactorial
Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications.
Four sizes of corms viz. 2-3cm, 3-4cm, 4-5cm and 5-6cm and three varieties viz.
American Beauty, Interpret and Yellow Summer Sunshine Growth performance
and cut flower characteristics varied significantly among varities and was
affected by the size of corm. Large sized corms (5-6cm) performed better with
respect to days to sprouting (16.11 days). Earlier spikes initiation (87.89 days),
longer spikes (107.1cm) and more number of florets/spike (16.26) were produced
from largest corms (5-6cm). Significant variation was observed among the
varieties in most of the characters. Yellow Summer Sunshine sprouted earlier
(16.08 days) while Interpret had earlier spike initiation (87.25 days). Plant
height, leaf length and number of daughter corms were found highest in Yellow
Summer Sunshine while maximum numbers of leaves per plant were found in
American Beauty followed by Interpret . Regarding cut flower characteristics,
Interpret was found superior having more number (16.12) of florets/spike |
