abstract = "Gladiolus is an important bulbous flower grown throughout the world. It occupies a prime position among commercial flower crops which has high demand in both domestic and international markets for cut flower trait. It is also important to develop Indian hybrids and evaluate them with the existing cultivar for their superior desirable characters. Therefore, present experiment was designed and Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi during the year 2017-18 and 2018-19. The gladiolus hybrids/cultivars conducted at the Research Farm of the Division of Floriculture and Landscaping, ICAR-Indian assessed for various vegetative, flowering and corm characters indicated that Melody Open Seedling, Chandni x Snow Princess and P-16-1 x Eurovision had flowered in 78.66, 84.50 and 87.50 days respectively after planting. The maximum spike length 134.99, 133.83, 132.66, 131.50 and 124.50 cm was recorded in hybrids such as Salmon Queen Open Seedling, Bindiya x Creamy Green, Yellow Stone x Melody, Green Pasture x Regency and Pink Parassol Open Seedling respectively. Among the genotypes, many cultivars were seen as higher multiplier of corms which had produced more number of corms per plant such as Aldebaran (3,82 corms/plant), followed by Fedelia, Punjab Glad-2 and Praha which had produced 3.49 corms/plant each. Vink’s Glori produced 3.00 corms per plant, whereas; it was minimum in cultivar Limon Cello (1.66).",
