An experiment was conducted to assess the performance of gladiolus cultivars at the Horticultural Research Station, Adilabad which comes under the Northern Telangana Zone. Among the 13 cultivars tested, ‘Eurovision’ has recorded significantly early flowering (55 days) when compared with all other cultivars. However, the plant height (59.63 cm), spike length and number of florets per spike (12) in the ‘Eurovision’ cultivar were significantly lowest when compared with all other cultivars. The cultivar ‘Snow White’ has recorded significantly longer duration of flowering (8.67 days), whereas ‘Meera’, ‘Friendship’ and ‘Shobha’ were at par with ‘Snow White’. ‘American Beauty’ has recorded significantly maximum vase life (9.00 days).

Abstract


An experiment was conducted to assess the performance of gladiolus cultivars at the Horticultural Research Station, Adilabad which comes under the Northern Telangana Zone. Among the 13 cultivars tested, ‘Eurovision’ has recorded significantly early flowering (55 days) when compared with all other cultivars. However, the plant height (59.63 cm), spike length and number of florets per spike (12) in the ‘Eurovision’ cultivar were significantly lowest when compared with all other cultivars. The cultivar ‘Snow White’ has recorded significantly longer duration of flowering (8.67 days), whereas ‘Meera’, ‘Friendship’ and ‘Shobha’ were at par with ‘Snow White’. ‘American Beauty’ has recorded significantly maximum vase life (9.00 days).
