Abstract: NAZARENO, ARLENE y EROLES, "Response of Galdio-lus to the Application of NPK and Compost". B.S. Thesis, Horticulture, Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite, April, 1990. Adviser: Mr. Celso S. Crucido. The study, "Response of Gladiolus to the Ap-p4ication of NPK and Compost" was conducted to deter-mine the growth and flowering response of NPK and compost, and to determine the correct levels of compost that will bring maximum growth and flower production to gladiolus. The experiment was conducted at the experimental field of the Department of Plant Science, Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite from December 1989 to February 1990. A field of 150 square meters was prepared thoroughly with the use of animal drawn implement. The area was divided into four equal blocks to represent the replication and further subdivided into four sub-plots to represent the four treatments. Compost was incorporated in the soil prior to planting while complete fertilizer was side-dressed thirty days after planting. The results of the study showed that plants in Treatment 4 (control) gave the lowest mean in all parameters gathered. On the other hand, plants in Treatment 3 (300 kgs of NPK + 3 tons of compost/ha) gave the highest mean in all observations made. It was found out that the average number of days from planting to bud formation, average height of plants 58 days after planting, average length of spike, average number of florets and average number of bulbs increases with an increase in the levels of compost applied.
