Effect of integrated nutrient management practices on growth, yield and quality of broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. var. italica)

Abstract

An experiment was conducted on entitled “Effect of Integrated Nutrient Management Practices on Growth, Yield and Quality of Broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. var. italica)” was conducted during Rabi, 2024-25 at Instructional Farm, School of Agricultural Sciences, Dabok, Udaipur. The experiment comprised of ten treatments viz., T1 (Control), T2 (100% RDF ), T3 (100% Vermicompost), T4 (100% FYM), T5 (75% RDF + 25% N through FYM), T6 (75% RDF + 25% N through Vermicompost), T7 (50% RDF + 50% N through FYM), T8 (50% RDF + 50% N through Vermicompost), T9 (75% RDF + 25% N through FYM + PSB @3kg/ha) and T10 (75% RDF + 25% N through Vermicompost + PSB @ 3kg/ha) with replicated three in Randomized Block Design. The results revelled that during experiment use of different integrated nutrient on growth, yield and quality of broccoli its effect among all treatments T10 (75% RDF + 25% N through Vermicompost + PSB @3kg/ha) was found to significantly increase growth, yield and quality of parameters, yield as well as economic of broccoli. It was found that maximum value of growth parameters viz., The maximum plant height (22.88, 30.43 and 36.75 cm) at 30, 60 and harvest, maximum leaf length (42.55 cm), leaf width (24.83 cm), maximum number of leaves plant-1 (21.64), yield attributes and yield viz. The maximum fresh weight of head (412.44 g), maximum yield per plot (10.31 kg), The maximum yield (15.34 t ha-1), quality parameters viz., maximum total soluble solid (8.87 0Brix), maximum ascorbic acid (89.44 mg 100 g-1), economic parameters viz., maximum net return of ₹ 60567 ha-1 maximum B:C ratio (1.92) were found under T10 (75% RDF + 25% N through Vermicompost + PSB @ 3 kg/ha).
