Summer crop cormels of gladiolus exhibited greater rest period than the rainy crop cormels. While presoaking in BA could break the dormancy of cormels of both the seasons, ethrel did so only on summer crop cormels. Also the summer cormels responded to treatments more favourably than the rainy crop cormels, BA being always more effective than the ethrel.
Our Sincere thanks are due to Mr. S. D. Vaidya, Head Landscape and Cosmetic Maintenance Section, BARC, for his encouragement and the facilities provided for carrying out this work.
