Abstract
An experiment was conducted at Horticulture farm, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka-1207, Bangladesh from November, 2011 to June, 2012 to find the out better level of zinc on growth, flowering and production of corms and cormels of gladiolus. Experiment consisted four different levels of zinc viz. Z0= 0 kg Zn/ha, Z1= 1 kg Zn/ha (1.28 Kg ZnO), Z2= 2 kg Zn/ha (2.56 Kg ZnO), Z3= 3 kg Zn/ha (3.84 Kg ZnO) and Z4= 4 kg Zn/ha (5.12 Kg ZnO). Maximum number of spike (22.3/plot), number of floret/spike (16.1), corm yield (1.23 kg/plot) and cormel yield (1.06 kg/plot) was found from Z3 while lowest number of spike (17.9/plot), number of floret/spike (11.1), corm yield (0.86 kg/plot) and cormel yield (0.80 kg/plot) was found from Z0.
