Abstract

Broccoli is know was the, ‘Crown of jewel nutrition’ because it contains vitamin A (130 times higher than cauliflower and 22 times higher than cabbage), niacin, thiamin, vitamin C, riboflavin and also minerals like Fe, P, K and Ca. It aids in the battle against lung and breast cancer. Organic production of broccoli is the need of the hour to enjoy the excellent health benefit of broccoli with better test avoiding the health hazard of chemical fertilizer residues. Keeping this in mind, the experiment was carried out in the year 2019-20 at the Agricultural Research Farm, Faculty of Agricultural Sciences and Allied Industries, Rama University, Kanpur. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design (RBD) for the experimentation at spacing of 60 × 30 cm with 3 replications and 8 treatments with 24 plots. The current experiment clearly demonstrated that the quality, yield, and yield-attributing characteristics of broccoli are significantly improved by the use of organic manures and bio-fertilizers. Among all the treatments, use of Farm Yard Manure (FYM) + Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria (PSB) + Azospirillum i.e., T7 in sprouting broccoli was found to be the most effective treatment for obtaining highest yield as well as better quality under UP conditions.
