ABSTRACT
The effect of mother corm weight and NPK levels was found to be significant on partitioning of assimilates in gladiolus cv. American Beauty. Maximum leaf area was observed in heaviest corm (>35 g) with NPK levels (40:30:13.5 g m-2). Maximum fresh and dry weight of leaf, stem, floret, spike and whole plant fresh and dry weight was found in heaviest corm (>35 g) with NPK levels (40:30:13.5 g m-2). Spike yield was found maximum in heaviest corm (>35 g) with NPK levels (40:30:13.5 g m-2).
Keywords: Corms, Cormels, Spike, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium.
