Abstract: A field experiment was conducted to determine the response of different levels of potassium on the growth, flowering and yield of gladiolus was carried out at Horticultural Experimental Field of College of Agriculture, Central Agricultural University, Imphal. The experiment was laid out in RBD with eight treatments and replicated thrice. The treatment consist of T1 (control), T2 (30 kg/ha K2O), T3 (60 kg/ha K2O), T4 (90 kg/ha K2O), T5 (120 kg/ha K2O), T6 (150 kg/ha K2O), T7 (180kg/ha K2O) and T8 (210 kg/ha K2O). The results of the experiment revealed that 210 kg/ha K2O gave the best treatment influenced to vegetative parameters viz. plant height (74.44cm), number of leaves (8.63), length of leaf (52.83cm), flowering parameters viz. minimum number of days taken for flowering (53.35 days), longivity of intact spike (18.93 days), length of the spike (105.86 days), fresh weight of the spike (79.85g), vase life of the cut spike (13.67 days), number of florets per spike (17.07). Similarly, NPK content in leaf tissues were maximum with the application of T8 (210 kg/ha K2O).
