Abstract:
The present investigation was conducted to study the effect of plant growth regulators on growth, flowering and corm production of Gladiolus Cv. Saffron during 2020-21 at Department of Floriculture and Landscape Architecture, IGKV Raipur, Chhattisgarh. Three growth regulators with three concentration viz., GA3 (100 ppm, 200 ppm and 300 ppm), BAP (50 ppm, 100 ppm and 150 ppm) and MH (250 ppm, 500 ppm and 750 ppm) each at three concentration in addition to tap water spray as control. The experiment was laid out in Randomized block design (RBD) with ten treatments with three replication. The result revealed that the treatment of GA3 @ 200 ppm (T4) attributed to superior results regarding the plant height, number of shoots, length of spike, number of floret per spike and vase life over all other treatments.
