Abstract:
An experiment was conducted in the Horticulture Farm, Sher-e-Bangla
Agricultural University, Dhaka during the period from May 2011 to August
2011 to study the influence of corm size and GA
on growth and yield of
gladiolus in summer. The experiment considered of two factors. Factor A: Two
levels of corm size i.e. C
M
= Medium
3
Large

: Control

50
L =
L
150
while the minimum in C
. On the other hand, the maximum length of rachis
150
M
while the minimum in G
. The highest plant height
L
0
G
. The highest benefit cost ratio
L
G

. So, it can be concluded that, large size corm
with 150 ppm GA

were found suitable for gladiolus production in summer.
