Abstract

The indigenous hybrids of gladiolus suitable for cut flower production having resistance to Fusarium wilt disease are limited. There is a need to develop hybrids which are resistant to Fusarium wilt and have with novel floret colour, improved spike qualities like spike with more number of florets (5-6 florets remain open at a time). To achieve this, scientists of IIHR, Bengaluru, have released two hybrids, viz. Arka Aayush for Fusarium wilt prone areas and Arka Manorama for its quality florets and spikes. Both are ideal.
