Abstract:
To the field experiments were conducting on “Effect of organic and Chemical Fertilizers on Vegetative and Quality Parameters of Gladiolus (Gladiolus grandiflorus L.)”, during 2018-19 and 2019-20 at Horticultural Research Centre of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture & Technology, Meerut. Fourteen different treatments comprising the application of chemical fertilizers and biofertilizers on this experiment. The results obtained in the present study are summarized as minimum days to 50% sprouting were taken with treatment T₁₀ (75% RDF + 25% Vermicompost + Azospirillum+ PSB), highest plant height at 30, 60, 90 and 120 DAS were recorded in treatment T₁₀(75% RDF + 25% Vermicompost + Azospirillum + PSB), maximum number of leaves per plant at 30, 60, 90 and 120 DAS were noted in treatment T₁₀(75% RDF + 25% Vermicompost + Azospirillum + PSB), highest length of longest leaf at 30, 60, 90 and 120 DAS were measured in treatment T₁₀(75% RDF + 25% Vermicompost + Azospirillum+ PSB), Width of longest leaf at 30, 60, 90 and 120 DAS were noted higher when plants were grown with treatment T₁₀(75% RDF + 25% Vermicompost + Azospirillum+ PSB), The minimum days taken to opening of florets were earliest in T₁₀(75% RDF + 25% Vermicompost + Azospirillum + PSB) and maximum number of flowers per plant were observed with the application of T₁₀(75% RDF + 25% Vermicompost + Azospirillum + PSB).
