factors such as Factor A: Micronutrients
- control, MN
1
II
-36 ppm of each micronutrient, MN
2
–
72 ppm of each micronutrient and MN
3
– 108 ppm of each micronutrient and Factor
B: Mulches
- Control, M
1
- Water hyacinth, M
2
- Rice straw, M
3
- Black
polythene. This experiment was laid out in a
randomized complete block design with
three replications. The results of the experiment showed that the foliar application of
micronutrients and mulches had significant effect on most of the parameters.
Maximum number of
spike
and minimum
number of spike
flowering and corm production in Gladiolus.
