Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 7
Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2014-15 to study “Evaluation of Morphological Characters of Gladiolus Genotypes (Gladiolus hybridus Hort.)†at the Instructional Farm, Department of Floriculture & Landscaping, College of Horticulture & Forestry, Jhalarapatan, Jhalawar. The experiment consisted of 12 varieties ‘African Star’, ‘Arti’, ‘Darshan’, ‘Friendship’, ‘Hunting Song’, ‘Legend’, ‘Pusa Srijana’, ‘PusaKiran’, ‘Snow Princess’, ‘Sunayana’, ‘Trader Horn’ and ‘Urmi’ laid out in randomized block design with three replications.
