Corm and Cormlets characterization of Novel Hybrids of Gladiolus (Gladiolus hybrida) in off-Season
The present study was conducted during 2024-25 at the Horticulture Farm, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, MPUAT, Udaipur, to evaluate the performance of nine novel gladiolus hybrids under off-season conditions. The study aimed to assess their corm production traits to identify superior genotypes suitable for off-season cultivation. Significant variation was observed among the hybrids for all studied parameters. Hybrid H5 ♀ GS-2 × ♂ Arka Amar recorded highest corm diameter (3.94 cm), corm weight (23.60 g), final corm weight (23.60g) While H6 ♀ Gunjan × ♂ Dhanvantari recorded highest corm / plant (1.87) and cormlets / plant (5.93). Furthermore, hybrids H5 ♀ GS-2 × ♂ Arka Amar and H8 ♀ GS-2 × ♂ Pricella demonstrated promising results for corm diameter and weight indicating potential for commercial multiplication.
