| This study was performed to determine the best plant density and planting methods in two varieties of gladiolus White (White Prosperity) and pink (Rose Supreme). The experiment was conducted in Split-Split Plot design with three replications based on Randomized Complete Block design. The results showed that qualitative and quantitative indices in gladiolus cultivars (White Prosperity and Rose Supreme) were the same in different plant density and planting methodsIn other words, the highest plant height, spike length and diameter of floret was recorded in basin method and density of 40 plants per square meter in White Prosperity and Rose Supreme cultivars. The highest number of floret per plant and the plant fresh weight (gr) was observed in the basin method and density of 70 plants per square meter in White Prosperity and Rose Supreme cultivars. In conclusion, the method of planting basin was the best method for increasing quality and quantity indices of gladiolus plants. |
