Abstract:
Wider spacing produces larger and heavier heads, whereas closer spacing produces a higher yield per hectare, according to current field tests. As a result, in order to produce a higher yield with better quality, ideal plant spacing must be optimised. The study evaluated “Interaction effect of different plant spacing on performance of different varieties with respect to growth and yield attributes of sprouting broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica L.) was carried out at three different plant spacing such as S₁ (60 ×45 cm), S₂ (45×45 cm) and S₃ (45×30 cm) on Growth and yield attributes traits of sprouting broccoli (Brassica oleracea L var. italica Plenck). cvs. Palam Samridhi (V₁), Palam Vichitra (V₂) and Palam Kanchan (V₃).The interaction effect of variety and spacings affected all but Plant height (64.26 cm), Plant canopy spread (64.36 cm) (East-west), number of leaves (16.16), length of leaves (56.59 cm), stem diameter (6.49cm), curd weight (456.61g), curd diameter (15.33 cm), yield per plot (6.23 kg0 and yield (54.36 q/ha) was recorded maximum for the interaction (V₂ S₃) Palam Vichitra (V₂) and S₃ (45×30 cm); while maximum canopy spread (North-south) (55.14 cm) observed at treatment combination V₂ S₂ and leaves width was recorded at interaction V₁ S₁ (35.20 cm). Among different Treatment combination it is concluded that combination cultivar Palam vichitra (V₂) at spacing (45x45 cm) (S₃) was recorded higher plant height, curd weight, curd diameter, yield (Kg/plot), yield (q/ha) and other economic feasible character.
