Abstract:
A field experiment was carried out at the Horticultural Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, B. A. College of Agriculture, AAU, Anand, Gujarat, India during Rabi 2020-21 on broccoli cv. Pusa KTS-1. The experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications, including 15 treatments. The results revealed that foliar application of Seaweed extract 3 ml/L + Jeevamrut 3% at 30 and 60 DAT recorded higher values of growth attributes viz., plant height, number of leaves, leaf width, leaf length and leaf area at 60 DAT and at harvest time, respectively, more number of branches per plant at lateral curd harvest and stem diameter at harvest stage. Also, significantly higher values of quality parameters viz., highest protein content and ascorbic acid.
