“…However, in the winter season of 2019, the highest number of florets (17.2) was found in mulching conditions and, in the winter of 2020, it happened without mulching cultivation (12.3). The number of florets observed in our study was different from those reported by Bosco et al (2021), who found that the number of florets of the White Goddess was not affected by the soil tillage system and seasons in three different regions of Santa Catarina. Therefore, we can state that the response of growth, development, and quality of the gladiolus flowering stems differs according to the growing seasons and soil management in different geographical regions of cultivation.…”

“…The spike diameter was measured at the insertion of the first floret with a pachymeter. Flower stems were classified according to the standards established by the cooperative Veiling Holambra (2013) into class 75, class 90, and class 110 as described by Bosco et al (2021).…”

These actions are in line with the UN's sustainable development goals, which seek to develop more sustainable agriculture, reduce soil loss, promote improved fertility and soil water conservation, reduce the thermal amplitude, to protect the soil and the roots from extreme temperatures (Wang et al, 2021).…”

To reduce the risks associated with the production of gladiolus flowers in the climatic conditions of southwestern Paraná, Brazil, this study characterized the growth, development, and floral stem quality of plants cultivated under different-colored shade nets and mulching in four growing seasons. The gladiolus cultivar ‘White Goddess’ was grown in beds with and without mulching in the soil. Three shade nets individually stained black, silver, and red all with 35% shading, were used in this study, and an additional treatment (control) in which plants were grown in full sun. Growth (LAI and height), development (cycle in days, and degree days), and flower quality (size and damaged stem) were evaluated in eight plants in each treatment. Plants were distributed in a randomized block design in a factorial scheme (season x mulching x shade screen). The cycle ranged from 66 to 89 days and 1732 to 1268°C day. The mean difference in the cycle between treatments was 3 days. Less flower stem damage happened under the silver net and more in full sun. The shading net associated with mulching favored the growth characteristics of the plants, and in autumn, the flowers had the highest quality standard.

“…The same author emphasizes that the interaction between gene and environment has great interference, with the possibility of variation of 6 more flowers because of these factors. Bosco et al (2021), working with different production systems for the White Goddess cultivar, found average values of 18 florets per spike. Souza et al (2020) evaluating the cultivar White Goddess and Red Beauty found values of 15.3 and 12.6 florets per ear, respectively.…”

Currently, floriculture has drawn the attention of farmers as an option for income on their properties. The gladiolus is a culture destined to produce cut flowers, widely used by florists and decorators. Despite its wide use, there is still not much information about the behavior of different cultivars in some places of cultivation in the country and the possibility of producing quality stems. In this sense, the objective of this work was to evaluate the quality of stems from different cultivars of gladiolus in a subtropical environment. The work was performed in the city of Chopinzinho/PR. The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design with five repetitions. The factor studied is represented by cultivars of different cycles of the gladiolus culture, as follows: Red Beauty (intermediate II), White Friendship (early), and Jester (intermediate II). Planting was performed using bulbs, inserted in the soil at an average depth of 10 cm with a spacing of 30 cm between plants and 40 cm between rows. The quality of stems was evaluated by measuring the length of stems, length of the stem, the diameter of the stem, and the number of florets per spike. Also, based on one of the quantitative standards of quality of floral stems established for gladiolus, the plants were classified according to the length and diameter of the stems in the classes: 75, 90, and 110. The data were submitted to variance analysis, and after significant results were found, the data were submitted to mean comparison using the LSD test at a 5% error probability. For the data in relation to commercial classification, descriptive statistics were used. The results show that factors related to climate directly interfere in the development and flowering of gladiolus plants, and the cultivars White Friendship, Red Beauty and Jester express different responses to these factors. In general, the White Friendship and Jester cultivars obtained the best results for stem quality, considering the variables stem length and total length of the stem, length of the stem and diameter of the stem. Even though the cultivar Red Beauty showed lower quality indices, they are still within the commercialization standard for gladiolus. Thus, it is possible to produce gladiolus stems with quality in this environment.

“…Irrigation is not a common practice used by gladiolus producers in the subtropical conditions of Brazil, although its positive effects on leaf area duration and flower quality have been demonstrated (Becker et al, 2021). This occurs because most producers are small farmers, who currently use conventional soil preparation, which includes ploughing and turning over the soil (Bosco et al, 2021) using a rotary cultivator. However, changing soil cultivation practices are important in modern floriculture.…”

Gladiolus is one of the most important bulbous flowers produced worldwide. The objective of this study was to evaluate the combined effect of irrigation and soil mulching on soil water conservation and its effect on gladiolus floral stem quality. Two field experiments were conducted with gladiolus at the Federal University of Santa Maria, state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, during 2019 and 2020. The experimental design was a completely randomized three‐factor design, with two cultivars (Red Beauty and T704 in experiment 1 ‐ E1 and Red Beauty and Jester in experiment 2 ‐ E2), two cultivation systems (soil mulched with straw and bare soil) and two water regimes (irrigated and non‐irrigated) as treatments. When gladiolus plants reached the R2 stage (harvest point), total stem length, spike length, stem diameter and final number of florets were evaluated. Variables were subjected to analysis of variance and Tukey's test at 5% of error probability. Irrigation improved the quality of floral stems, with greater stem and spike length, greater diameter and number of florets per spike, thus resulting in stems with greater decorative value. The soil covered with straw did not influence the quality parameters of the floral stem of the gladiolus, the only observed difference between cultivars being the variable length of the spike.
