Impact of gamma irradiation on vegetative growth of Gladiolus cv. White prosperity

The present research was carried out at Experimental Farm, Department of Agriculture, Mata Gujri College, Fatehgarh Sahib, Punjab during winter season 2020-21. experiment laid in randomized block design with seven treatments (Control, 20gy, 40gy, 60gy, 80gy, 100gy and 120gy) the were replicated thrice. From it can be concluded that lower dose (20gy) gamma irradiation show positive result on growth i.e. maximum plant height (90.03 cm), size leave (28.44 cm) take less number days to sprout (12.65 days) flowering Gladiolus cultivar White Prosperity. As increases (60gy-120gy), affect vegetative characteristic like taken sprouting, height, leaves, length longest leaf, reduces increase, but has no effect sprouts/corm corm.
