storage conditions influence quality of gladiolus corms which thereby affects qualityof flowers. in the present study, the effects of pre-storage curing and differenttemperature conditions on corm germination and various vegetative and reproductivegrowth parameters of gladiolus grandiflorus cv. white prosperity and gladiolusgrandiflorus cv. ruse supreme were studied. application of pre-storage ...

A study was conducted to determine the optimum concentration of benzyladenie (BA) and gibberllic acid (GA3) to break the dormancy of gladiolus corms in relation to storage period and to find out the effect of BA and GA3 on growth and development of gladiolus corm and cormels. The effect of GA3 on dormancy breaking was most pronounced in the 100 ppm treatment being 26.93 days while in the water ...

background & aim: saffron (crocus sativus l.) formerly was important in turkey. saffron cultivation has been decreased and it is now only cultivated in three villages in this country. it is triploid and exclusively propagated in a vegetative way by corms. in turkey, saffron is traditionally planted by placing corms in rows randomly without grading or sorting; which results in placement of c...

Background and objectives: The goal of this study was to compare the cytotoxic and antioxidant activities of the corms extracts of two Crocus species (C. sativus L. and C. pallasii subsp. haussknechtii). Methods: n-Hexan, chloroform and methanol extracts of the corms were prepared. Cytotoxic activities of the extract...

In this paper, the researchers investigate the vegetative growth of Chromolaena odorata and the infl uence of light intensity on the understorey environment of Shorea robusta forest at Chitwan in south-central Terai, Nepal. C. odorata is a clonally growing shrub and typically consists of several clones with an underground “cormous organ” (a modifi ed stem to store food reserve; here after “corm...

The influence of different levels of phosphorus on corm and flower productivity of Gladiolus (Gladiolus grandiflorus) was studied at Faculty of Agriculture Rawalakot, Azad Jammu and Kashmir during the year 2010. Corms of similar size and weight were collected from Awan Nursery and Seed Store, Rawalpindi. Sowing was done on 25 April, 2010 with five different phosphorus levels viz. 40, 70, 100, 1...
