Abstract
Studies carried out on the management of Fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. gladioli) of gladiolus revealed that alteration in sowing dates and chemical dip treatment have remarkable effects on disease incidence and corm yield. Early sown crop (i.e. March 7) had minimum disease incidence and maximum corm yield compared to late sown crop. Carbendazim treated corms gave better disease control and higher corm yield than chlorothalonil and mercuric chloride. However, dipping of corms in carbendazim prior to sowing was found effective irrespective of date of sowing. Corm yield increased three times under this treatment.
