Abstract:
During the Rabi season 2021–2022, studies were conducted at sanjeevini vatika, Department of Horticulture, College of Agriculture, GKVK, Bengaluru (KARNATAKA), to determine the effects of various spacing levels and nutrient levels on the growth parameters of broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica). Plant height (38.12 cm), leaf area (5439.35 cm2), chlorophyll content (77.29), number of leaves per plant (18.26), plant spread for north to south (86.22 cm) and plant spread for east to west direction (85.21cm), were found to be significantly maximum in 60×45cm spacing level. Among different levels of Nutrients, N3 (125% RDF) was recorded highest in plant height (37.65cm), number of leaves per plant (18.51), leaf area (5394.94 cm2), chlorophyll content (79.06), plant spread for north to south (84.82 cm) and plant spread for east to west (84.75 cm), was recorded in the spacing level of 60cmx45cm and also nutrient level of N3 (125% RDF).
