Abstract

FeSO4, ZnSO4 and MnSO04 (0.2 and 0.4%) sprays done at 3-leaf and 6-leaf stages of gladiolus var. White Prosperity revealed earliness in flowering, and increased the plant height and number of leaves under 0.2% FeSO4. Spike length, number of florets, weight of spike and size of florets were significantly increased with FeSO4 + ZnSO4, each at 0.2% Longest duration of flowering was observed under 0.4 % FeSO4 + 0.2% ZnSO4, Maximum number of corms was noted under 0.4% FeSO4, 0.4%, MnSO4 and 0.2 % ZnSO4.
