Humic acid is an organic having positive effect on plant growth. The presentstudy was carried out to see the of humic in combination with NPK soil for growth,flower production and vase life gladiolus flowers. Five treatments i.e. nitrogen, phosphorous, potash(NPK) (17:17:17) (10 g), 8% (1.0 mL) + (2.0 mL)+ (3.0 (10g) were studied, whereastreatment without exogenous feeding served as control. Al...

A study was conducted to determine the optimum concentration of benzyladenie (BA) and gibberllic acid (GA3) to break the dormancy of gladiolus corms in relation to storage period and to find out the effect of BA and GA3 on growth and development of gladiolus corm and cormels. The effect of GA3 on dormancy breaking was most pronounced in the 100 ppm treatment being 26.93 days while in the water ...

Africa, now report on a population of flowers with extraordinary polymorphism in flower tube length (Proc. R Soc. Their initial work suggests that indeed, increased flower tube length may be favoured by natural selection. The researchers have been studying a population of the plant species Gladiolus longicollis which grows in southern Africa. Northern populations tend to have longer flower tube...

A field experiment was conducted to determine the response of different doses of N and P2O5 on the growth and flower quality of gladiolus at farmer field district Quetta during the summer season 2008. Six treatments were included in the trial viz; T1 (125+100); T2 (125+200); T3 (150+100); T4 (150+200); T5 (175+100) and T6 (175+200) NP kg/ha were tested in four replicated randomized complete blo...
