Online published on 15 December, 2016. Abstract An experiment conducted on Influence of spacing and nitrogen on corm and cormels production of gladiolus (Gladiolus grandiflorus L.) cv. American Beauty. The treatments comprised of three levels of spacing (40 x 15 cm, 40 x 20 cm and 40 x 25 cm) and four levels of nitrogen (150, 200, 250 and 300 kg ha−1) in a randomized block design with factorial concept and replicated thrice. The spacing 40 x 25 cm and 250 kg N ha−1 resulted into maximum number of corm and cormels per plant, corm weight and corm diameter per plant, while, maximum number of corm and cormels per plot and number of corm per hectare were recorded in 40 x 15 cm spacing and 250 kg N ha−1.
