Abstract: 

The present investigation was carried out to study the Effect of various graded levels of tuber and treatment with various growth regulators on sprouting percentage and growth parameters of glory lily. A field trial was conducted in a Factorial randomized block design with various graded level of tuber based on the weight (100-125 g, 175-200 g and above 250 g) and different levels of growth regulators (GA3 @ 250 ppm, cycocel @ 500 ppm and ethrel @ 500 ppm). The results of the present investigation revealed that tuber weighed more than 250 g treated with GA3 @ 250 ppm was found to be superior in improving the sprouting percentage of tubers and other growth characters like plant height, stem girth, number of branches, number of leaves , days to first flowering and number of flowers per plant in glory lily.
