Abstract:
Sprouting broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) belongs to the family Brassicaceae. An experiment was conducted at Udai Pratap Autonomous College Varanasi- 221002 U.P. (India) during winter season 2016-2017, on “Studies on the effect of different levels of boron on vegetative growth, yield and yield components of broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. var. italica)”. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications and ten treatments with different boron level which is T1 (50 ppm), T2 (100 ppm), T3 (150 ppm), T4 (200 ppm), T5 (250 ppm), T6 (300 ppm), T7 (350 ppm), T8 (400 ppm), T9 (450 ppm) and T10 (Control). The observation revealed that the application of different boron level and the best result was observed during investigation plant height (70.20 cm), stem length (24.01 cm) stem thickness (44.13 mm) fresh weight (272.66 g)in T4 (200 ppm) and minimum was observed in T10 (control). In the case of leaves characters the maximum number of leaves per plant was counted 16.3, fresh weight of leave per plant 773.33 g, dry weight of leave per plant 58.003 g and canopy per plant was observed 86.67 cm in T4 (200 ppm) while the minimum result was observed in T10 (control).
