Open full text 2 citations

Abstract

Gladiolus cv Sylvia was grown at varying densities of 27, 36, 45, 54, 65, 72 and 81 corms per sq. m. at Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana during the year 1983–84, 1984–85. The corm number, conn weight and cormel production per corm decreased in closer spacings. However, even the closest spacing produced corms of top grade. For maximum corm production 36 corms/sq. m. was found to be optimum density whereas for flower production 63 corms/sq. m. was found to be better.
