 ABSTRACT

A field experiment was carried out during the successive seasons of 2018/2019. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of bio fertilizer on various growth parameters of gladiolus cv. American Beauty. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design with Factorial concept (FRBD) with three replications and 24 Twenty four treatment combinations, comprising of four fertilizer treatments F0Control (No fertilizer), F1RDF, F285% RDF, and F370% RDF and six treatments of bio fertilizers (T1Un-inoculated, T2 Azotobacter, T3Phosphobacteria, T4Azospirillum,T5 Azospirillum + Phosphobacteria, and T6Azotobacter +Phosphobacteria ).The salient features of the results presented, fertilizer showed that minimum days taken to sprouting(17.02), Sprouting percentage (93.74), Number of sprouts per hill (2.13), length of longest leaf (59.52), width of longest leaf(4.94), number of leaves per hill (7.87), maximum plant height (86.97 cm), leaf area (1863.37), leaf area index (3.1) were registered in F1 (RDF).and bio -fertilizer showed that minimum days taken to sprouting (17.77), Sprouting percentage (32.84), Number of sprouts per hill (2.45), length of longest leaf (58.09), width of longest leaf(4.84), number of leaves per hill (7.66), maximum plant height (85.35 cm), leaf area (1818.03), leaf area index(3.02) were registered T6(Azotobacter + phosphobacteria).
