Title : Effect of Corm Size and Varieties on Growth Performance and Cut Flower Characteristics of Gladiolus Material Type: printed text Authors: Joshi, K.R., Author ; Gautam, D.M., Author ; Baral, D.R., Author ; U.K Pun, Author Publication Date: 2012 Article on page: 7-12 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Gladiolus, sprouting, spike initiation and florets 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

Title : Floriculture research in Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Pun, A.B., Author ; U.K Pun, Author Pagination: 273-278 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: This paper presents review on floriculture researches carried out to date so as to make the future research strategy and plans for boosting up the floriculture in Nepal. Altogether 14 research and technical papers were cited for the study. Particularly, it has found that research emphasis was given to major cut flowers and these were done by different organizations and institute during last decade. Most studies were concentrated on survey rather than agronomic and post-harvest studies. Floriculture Association Nepal (FAN), a non-governmental organization, had made several efforts for the floriculture development in the country. Since 1994, a dozen of studies have been brought on the marketing and at policy level. Besides, Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science (IAAS), Rampur has done research; especially in cut flowers viz. gladiolus, rose and carnation with respect to crop husbandry and post-harvest aspect. Similarly, National Agriculture Research Council (NARC) has mandatory to cut flower research and two projects on gladiolus are underway. The paper has presented information on the following headings: current research status, challenges for floriculture research, development and research needs for the floriculture development.
