 ABSTRACT

Field investigations were carried out to know the “Response of INM on gladiolus (Gladiolus grandiflorus L.) cv. American Beauty under Navsari and Tansa conditions” was carried out at Floriculture Research Farm, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari (Gujarat) and ASPEE Research Farm, Tansa, Mumbai (Maharastra) during 2015-16. An application of bio-fertilizers, FYM along with chemical fertilizers and foliar spray of Nauroji Novel Organic Liquid Fertilizer have shown significant result in the treatments at both locations viz., Navsari and Tansa. Significantly maximum plant height, number of leaves per plant and  minimum days taken to spike initiation, days to harvesting of spike from initiation and maximum spike length, rachis length, florets per spike, floret diameter, vase life, spikes yield, number of corms per plant, weight of corms per plant, weight of cormels per plant, size of the corm, NPK contents in leaf, organic carbon, available N, P and K in soil was found best in  the combination of 100%  RDF +  FYM @ 7.5 t/ha + Azotobacter  + PSB + KMB + 1% foliar spray of Nauroji Novel Organic Liquid Fertilizer (T10) followed by T7 i.e. 100%  RDF +  FYM @ 7.5 t/ha + Azotobacter  + PSB + KMB and T6 i.e. 75%  RDF +  FYM @ 7.5 t/ha + Azotobacter  + PSB + KMB at both Navsari and Tansa conditions.

Key words: INM, Gladiolus, Bio-fertilizers, Growth, Yield
