Abstract:
An experiment entitled “Evaluation of gladiolus (Gladiolus spp.) varieties for qualitative and quantitative characters under Konkan ago-climatic conditions of Maharashtra” was conducted during Rabi season of the year 2021-22 at College of Horticulture, Dapoli, Dist. Ratnagiri, (Maharashtra state). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications and ten treatments i.e., Phule Prerana, Phule Tejas, Phule Neel Rekha, Pusa Sinduri, Pusa Urmila, Punjab Glad-2, Punjab Lemon Delight, IIHR-G-12, Hyderabad Ac-7 and Sancerre. The results revealed that early spike emergence (54.91 days), maximum spike length (96.12 cm), maximum Interfloret length (5.49 cm), maximum number of floret per spike (14.43), minimum days required for flowering (65.54 days), maximum number of floret opened at a time (7.78), maximum number of spikes per hectare (3.23 lacs) and maximum number of corms per hectare (2.41 lacs) were recorded in variety Phule Neel Rekha, while maximum floret diameter (8.93 cm), maximum floral duration (24.67 days), were recorded in variety IIHR-G-12. However, the variety Phule Neel Rekha was suitable in respect of quality parameters of gladiolus spikes under Konkan conditions
