Effect of N, P, K on Some Flower Quality and Corm Yield Characteristics of Gladiolus
Abstract
The experiment was conducted to see the effect of N, P, K, in combinations, on the yield corms and length of the spikes for gladiolus. The nitrogen in combination with K gave best results for the yield of corms. The combination of N,P,K did not respond significantly compared with nitrogen with or without potassium combination. Statistically all the treatments of N,P and K in different combinations were nonsignificant for the spike length.
