Abstract:
A study on the association of various morphological traits through correlation analysis in gladiolus (Gladiolus hybridus Hort.) showed that Number of spikes per plant had a significant and positive correlation with number of leaves, number of shoots and number of daughter corms per plant in genotypic level. Spike length exhibited positive and significant association with rachis length, number of florets vase life and number of cormels. Number of florets exerted a significant positive correlation with vase life at genotypic and phenotypic level. Hence, these characters may be considered as selection indices in gladiolus breeding programme.
