Abstract
Gladiolus is one of the most valuable cut flowers in India, known for its vibrant colours and majestic spikes. It is cultivated in regions such as Kalimpong, Srinagar, and Nainital, covering 11.85 thousand ha and producing approximately 106 crore cut flowers annually. The white (60%) and yellow (20%) varieties are especially preferred for floral arrangements and religious ceremonies. These varieties,
well-suited to Indian growing conditions, command premium prices due to their long-lasting spikes, thereby offering significant economic benefits to farmers and showcasing high entrepreneurial potential.
