Abstract: Field trial of growth and corms production of gladiolus was carried out at Floriculture field of KNK College of Horticulture Mandsaur Madhya Pradesh during rabi seasons of 2017-2018 respectively. The objectives were to evaluate the response of ZnSo4, FeSo4 and B on growth and corms production and to find out the optimum dose of ZnSo4, FeSo4 and B for maximizing growth and corms Yiels for Gladiolus cultivation. Treatments comprising each three levels of Zn (0, 1%, and 2%), FeSo4 (0, 0.5% and 1%), and three levels of B (0, 0.02% and 0.04%) were spray at 45 DAP. The results revealed that foliar application of ZnSO4 2% + FeSO4 1% + B 0.04% (T9) recorded significantly maximum growth and yield parameters in respect of width of longest leaf (cm), length of longest leaf (cm),number of corms/ hill, Weigth of corms per hill (g), number of cormels/hill, Weigth of cormels per hill (g) However T8 (ZnSO4 2% + FeSO4 1% + B 0.02%) was found to be significant viz., Plant height (cm) and diameter of corms (cm).
