Year: 2022
Type: article
Abstract: The present experiment was conducted to study the effect of nutrient management on vegetative growth and floral attributes in gladiolus cv. saffron at college premises, Horticultural Research cum Instructional farm, College of Agriculture, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur during the year 2021–22. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications having ten treatment combinations. The result showed that T5 [75% RDF + [email protected] t/ha + 0.3% foliar spray of WSF 13:0:45(Once)] recorded earliest 50% sprouting of corms (12.67d), more number of shoots per plant (1.40), maximum plant height 34.20 cm and 69.07 cm at 25 and 50 DAP respectively) and more number of leaves (2.93 and 5.53 at 25 and 50 DAPrespectively). Similarly in flowering attributes, earliest in spike emergence (69.20d), first floret open (75.40d), more number of spike per plant (1.40), Maximum spike length (78.50 cm) and rachis length (46.23 cm) was observed in treatment T5 (75% RDF + [email protected] t/ha + 0.3% foliar spray of WSF 13:0:45).
