The experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications. A field experiment was escort to assess the effect of vermicompost (20t/ha, 15t/ha), (FYM 20t/ha, 15t/ha), Poultry Manure (20t/ha, 15t/ha), Vermicompost + GA3 (20t+100ppm, FYM + GA3 20t + 100ppm) and Poultry Manure + GA3 (20t+100ppm) on growth and flowering in Gladiolus Cv. Nova Lux. Application of Vermicompost + GA3 20t+100 ppm shows increasing growth character like Height of plants, Number of sprouts per corm, Length of largest leaf, Width of longest leaf, Number of leaves per plant and flowering characteristics such as Number of days for emergence of spike, Length of spike, Number of Florets per spike, Diameter and Length of Florets. Showed the maximum value followed by Poultry Manure+GA3 20t+100ppm.
