e0“The experiment was conducted at C.S.A.U.A.T., Kanpur to find out effect ofethrel and sand on growth and corm yield of gladiolus cv. Congo Song”
e4“higher level of ethrel (750ppm) caused much delay in corm sprouting, while at 500ppm level it significantly increased the number of sprouts/mother corm, and thickness of plant”

- Intervention effect Sand beneath the corm at planting significantly delayed corm sprouting compared with no sand.
- Intervention effect Sand beneath the corm increased sprouts per corm, plant girth and leaf width compared with no sand.
- Intervention effect Sand beneath the corm increased plant height, total corm yield and cormel number compared with no sand.
- Intervention effect Planting corms in soil only caused earlier sprouting.
- Intervention effect Planting corms in soil only produced heavier daughter corms.
- Intervention effect Planting corms in soil only produced larger cormels.
- Intervention effect The higher ethrel level of 750 ppm caused a much longer delay in corm sprouting.
- Intervention effect Ethrel at 250 ppm increased plant height, total corm yield and cormel number in both media.
