The present investigation entitled “Effect of Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) on growth, flowering and yield in Gladiolus (Gladiolus grandiflorus L.) cv.White Prosperity”, was under taken at Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences (SHUATS), during the year 2016-17. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with 14 treatments replicated thrice. The treatments comprised of FYM, vermicompost, poultry manure and biofertilizer (Azotobacter & PSB) with 50% RDF and 75% RDF in different combinations including control (No fertilizers and manures) and 100% RDF. The results revealed that application of 75% RDF + FYM @ 2t/ha + Vermicompost @ 0.6 t/ha + Poultry manure @ 0.4 t/ha + Azotobacter @ 2.5 kg/ha + PSB @ 2.5 kg/ha (T7) produced significantly minimum days to sprouting (10.53), maximum plant height (135.33 cm), number of leaves per plant (13.13), total fresh weight of plant (119.73 g). This treatment was also significantly noted duration of flowering (12.67 days), longevity of first floret (6.80 days), spike length (81.27 cm). However, the maximum spike yield per plant (2.53) and spike yield per plot (40.53), were shown maximum with this treatment.
