EVALUATION OF MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERS OF GLADIOLUS (Gladiolus hybridus Hort.) GENOTYPES UNDER SUB HUMID CONDITION OF RAJASTHAN
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 7
Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2014-15 to study “Evaluation of Morphological Characters of Gladiolus Genotypes (Gladiolus hybridus Hort.)†at the Instructional Farm, Department of Floriculture & Landscaping, College of Horticulture & Forestry, Jhalarapatan, Jhalawar. The experiment consisted of 12 varieties ‘African Star’, ‘Arti’, ‘Darshan’, ‘Friendship’, ‘Hunting Song’, ‘Legend’, ‘Pusa Srijana’, ‘PusaKiran’, ‘Snow Princess’, ‘Sunayana’, ‘Trader Horn’ and ‘Urmi’ laid out in randomized block design with three replications. The variety ‘Trader Horn’ showed the best performance for maximum number of leaves per plant (9.75), plant height (137.09 cm), spike length (123.38 cm), floret diameter (10.93 cm), duration of flowering (16.17), number of florets per spike (20.08). The ‘Legend’ was noted for best yielding variety regarding, maximum number of spikes (37.0) per plot, sprouts per corm (2.67) and B:C ratio (2.18).
