Abstract

An investigation was carried out to standardize the effect of pulsing concentration on vase life of gladiolus (Gladiolus grandiflorus L.) cv. White prosperity during the year 2017-2018. Spikes were harvested at early in the morning having 1-2 florets showed colour from the main experiment field. The maximum 10.33 days vase-life of flower was found with continuous opening of florets, increase in spike length, absorption of vase solution, first increase thereafter decreased, and moderate florets drooping could be observed, when gladiolus spikes were pulsed in to 20% pulsing solution for 24 hours.
