The research material comprised of nine treatments along with three replications in Randomized Block Design with planting distance (30 x 30) cm. The data on 80% emergence of plant (7.687 days), stem girth/diamter of plant was maximum (2.18 cm), number of leaves per plant at harvest was maximum (11.3), maximum leaf area at harvest (2.107 cm²), maximum leaf area index (2.107 cm²). The data on 80% emergence of spike at harvest was maximum (82.36), maximum number of floret per spike at harvest (15.803). The data at harvest on length of rachis was found maximum (46.770 cm), at harvest equitorial diameter (3.490 cm), polar Length of individual corm per plant of gladiolus (6.237). The number of corm per plant of gladiolus (6.23), maximum corm yield ((19.710 t/ha), Yield of cormel (16.710 t/ha), All the parameters were significantly influenced by different doses with T₅ (BA) 100ppm + (GA₃) 100ppm) and T₈ (BA) 150ppm+ (GA₃) 150ppm in comparison to the control plot T_0. Thus it can be assumed that application of growth regulators such as Gibberellic acid (GA₃) and Benzyl adenine (BA) should not be overlooked in flower crops under Bundelkhand region. Further researches are required to determine other plant growth regulators which are inevitable in quality improvement of flowers.
