Abstract:
Broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) is one of the important temperate vegetable and emerging crop at Northern Hills of Chhattisgarh with benefit economic returns. The experiment was conducted in randomized block design with three replications during Rabi season 2020-21 at Potato and Temperate Fruit Research Station, Mainpat, Surguja, I.G.K.V., Chhattisgarh. Ten combinations of inorganic fertilizers and organic manures were taken as treatments with one control. The evaluation of various treatments taken for study revealed that the application of 50% RDF + PM @ 6 t/ha (T₂) responded better with respect to the plant height, number of leaves per plant, head initiation, days to first harvest. head weight, number of secondary head per plant, lateral head weight, head diameter, head yield per plant, head yield per plot, head yield. The stalk length and stalk diameter was observed to be the maximum in treatment in 100% RDF [NPK through chemical Fertilizer] (T₁₀).
