This document presents two case studies on using physical and chemical mutagens to induce variability in gladiolus species. In the first case study, gladiolus corms were treated with gamma rays and diethyl sulphonate (DES) at different doses and concentrations. DES up to 0.3% produced favorable variations and abnormalities while gamma rays did not produce any desirable variations. The second case study treated two gladiolus genotypes with ethyl methane sulphonate (EMS) and gamma rays. Various growth and flowering parameters were recorded and analyzed. The results showed that lower doses of chemical mutagens like EMS 0.25% may be more effective in increasing variability compared to higher doses or physical mutagens like gamma rays
