Abstract

An experiment entitled "Performance of gladiolus (Gladiolus grandiflorus L.) cultivars in eastern Uttar Pradesh" was conducted at the Experimental Unit Department of Horticulture, Tilak Dhari Post Graduate College, Jaunpur (U.P.) India During the year 2019-2020. The experiment was laid down in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with ten cultivars (treatments) and three replications, with a net plot size of 2 m x 1.50 m and a spacing of 30 cm x 20 cm. Tiger Flame, Arka Gold, Red Majesty, Pink City, American Beauty, Nova Lux, Red Beauty, Jyotsana, Pusa Manmohak, and Punjab Morning were among the varieties tested. The cultivar Arka Gold sprouted in least time (8.75 days), followed by the cultivar American Beauty (9.40 days). The cultivar Tiger Flame, on the other hand, took the longest number of days (13.38) to reach 50% sprouting. The cultivar Jyotsana (77.55 cm) had the largest spike length, which was much longer than cultivars Pusa Manmohak (75.42 cm) and Nova Lux (75.42 cm).  At room temperature, the cultivar Pusa Manmohak (7.32 days) had the longest vase life (days), followed by Nova Lux (7.20) and Pink City (7.10) days, while cultivar American Beauty (7.10) had the shortest vase life (5.82 days). The cultivars Nova Lux, Pink City, and Pusa Manmohak produced a lot of corms. The cultivars Pusa Manmohak, Nova Lux, Pink City, and Red Majesty, on the other hand, were shown to be ideal for extended vase life.
