Abstract:
An experiment was conducted at Horticulture Farm, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural
University, Dhaka during the period from June to August 2010 to study the
effect of GA
on growth and flowering of gladiolus. The experiment comprised
with two factors viz. Factor A: two varieties, white gladiolus and yellow
gladiolus and Factor B: five concentration of GA
3
application viz. 0, 50, 100,
150 and 200 ppm respectively. The experiment was laid out in Randomized
Complete Block Design
3
application at
different concentration had significant effect on the parameters. GA
@ 150
ppm treated white gladiolus showed the highest plant height
treated plant
also took the minimum days to spike initiation
application is the most effective for
improving the growth and flowering of gladiolus cultivated in summer .
