Abstract
The experiment was carried out in areas at "Liliana Dimitrova" Horticultural Research Institute, in Quivicán, Havana, Cuba, the behaviour of three plantation distances, was evaluated: T1: 0.10 m, T2: 0.05 m and T3: 0.025 m among corms in the production of seeds of the gladiolus (Gladiolus spp), distributed at random in a design of blocks with three repetitions. They were carried out the following evaluations: equatorial and polar diameter of the corms, number of cormels, fresh weight of the cormels, fresh weight of the corms, multiplication rate and yield. The obtained results show the equatorial and polar diameter of the corms didn't present significant differences for the different studied variants and the values of the same ones oscillated among 4.68 - 4.47 cm and 2.50 - 2.28 cm, respectively. The quantity of cormels for corm presented significant differences in favour of 0.10 m of plantation among corms in connection with the rest of the treatments, with 29.19, 23.36 and 16.33 cormels for corm respectively. The multiplication rate was superior in the T1 with 2,6 and the yield presented statistical differences in favour of 0.025 m among corms without differing of the rest of the treatments with 31.07 t*ha-1.
