The study was conducted to investigate the effect of green net shade during staggered planting times on growth, biochemical, antioxidant enzymes and vase life of gladiolus cut flowers. The green net shade effectively reduces the internal temperature, particularly during extremely hot planting times. Under the green net shade conditions, high quality morphological and biochemical observations were observed during the months of March and April planting times. These included longer plant height, spike length, a higher number of leaves plant-1 , larger leaf area, maximum spike diameter, greater number of florets spike-1 , heavier flower diameter, higher fresh and dry weight, elevated photosynthetic rate, and reduced time taken for flowering...
