<br/><br/> AUSTRIA, JOBL R., Applied Research IV (Agri-Science Curriculum), Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite, March 1988, "RESPONSE OF GLADIOLA TO DIFFERENT GROWING MEDIA". Adviser: Mrs. Edna A. Vida<br/><br/>The study was conducted to give Gladiola growers some valuable information on growing Gladiola. The objectives of the study are: (1) to determine the effect of the different growing media on the growth and flowering of Gladiola, and (2) to select which of the growing media would be best suited for growing of Gladiola. It was conducted at the author's residence from September to December 1987, a period covering four months of study.<br/><br/>A total of 90 Gladiola corms was used in this study. A Gompletely Randomized Design was used in computing for the analysis of variance.<br/><br/>A highly significant result was obtained in the average length of flower stalks while significant results were obtained in the average number of leaves and in the average number of flowers. A non-significant result was obtained in the number of days from planting to flowering, and in the number of days from planting to germination.<br/><br/>The study proved that silt loam and ordinary garden soil applied with fertilizer is best for the growth of Gladiolus plants.<br/>
