“…Gladiolus (Gladiolus x grandiflorus), which belongs to the Iridaceae family, is cultivated in all world and has a great importance in the international market of flowers (MEMON et al, 2009;MAHASEN et al, 2015). It is a cut flower propagated by corms (SCHWAB et al, 2015a), which is a propagative material in high demand in the foreign market.…”

The gladiolus is an important cut flower that is cultivated in all parts of the world, and it is very appreciated to be used in floral arrangements. The growing concern with the environmental contamination and the look for production with higher quality have resulted in increasing the number of studies on the use of organic inputs and microorganisms in floriculture, in particular, the vermicompost and the Trichoderma sp. This work was conducted with the objective to evaluate the development and the quality of gladiolus floral stems in function of the use of vermicompost and Trichoderma sp. applied to the substrate. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse during the period of August to December of 2015. It was done by utilizing four treatments: T1 = control substrate (50% soil and 50% commercial substrate Carolina Soil); T2 = vermicompost (40%) and control substrate (60%); T3 = Trichoderma sp. added to the control substrate; T4 = Trichoderma sp. added to the vermicompost (40%) and control substrate (60%). The gladiolus variety used was the Peter’s Pears. The variables analyzed were main plant height, Falker chlorophyll index, length and diameter of the main stem, tassel length, quantity of main stem florets, proportionality between tassel and stem, and time until the start of flowering. It was concluded that the development and the quality of the gladiolus floral stem were favored by the use of vermicompost in the concentration of 40% added to the substrate.

Nutrient status in gladiolus corms were assessed following GA3 treatment and number of bud of corm (cut as well as whole corm). The experiment was laid out in randomized block design involve factorial combination with three replications. Result revealed that 5 bud and GA3 200 ppm showed maximum (10.99% and 9.24%) nitrogen uptake whereas phosphorus accumulation (17.26% and 21.88%) was recorded maximum in 200 ppm GA3 and 6 bud corm and 5 bud with 200 ppm GA3 gave maximum (11.93% and 15.87%) potassium content. Minimum (3.36% and 5.37%) nitrogen accumulation was exhibited with 1 bud and control and 2 bud and 100 ppm GA3 application, in context of phosphorus, minimum (4.25%) and (7.11%) was observed with 1 bud and control (distilled water) cormsand also potassium uptake was least (2.75%) and (3.90%) in 1 bud and 200 ppm GA3. Similarly corm and cormel parameters were influenced by whole corms which were treated with 200 ppm GA3 in the both year of experiment. Hence, whole corm as well as higher concentrations of GA3 (200 ppm) enhanced uptake of N, P, K in harvested gladiolus corm as well as corm yield due to potential ofenhancing the source-sink relationship.
