EFFECT OF VERMICOMPOST AND BIO-CONTROL AGENTS ON GROWTH AND FLOWERING OF GLADIOLUS CV. PUSAKIRAN

摘要

A field trial on gladiolus was conducted to see the influence of vermicompost and various bio-control agents on growth and flowering attributed at the KrishiVigyan Kendra Campus Saharanpur U.P during 2013-14 & 2014-15. The Treatment were control Trichoderma, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Vermicompost, Trichoderma + Pseudomonas, Trichoderma+Vermicompost, Trichoderma+Pseudomonas+Vermicompost.Experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with three replications. Early sprouting was recorded with treatment Trichodermamaximum length of longest leaf (46.30cm) and maximum number of leaf were recorded with Trichoderma + Pseudomonas+Vermi compost. The earliest opening of first florate and maximum length of spike and maximum number of florate were recordedwith Treatment T.harzianum +P.fluorescens+Vermicompost.It is note that application of various bio control agents alone or in combination. Vermi compost was found beneficial to improve plant growth and various flowering parameters.
