Nitrogen and boron are major nutrients in case of broccoli. So, an experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of nitrogen and boron in seed yield and yield attributing characters of broccoli in Rampur, Chitwan during winter season. The experiment was laid out in factorial RCBD design with four levels of nitrogen and two levels of boron.
Each plot consists of 25 plants which were separated by 60 * 60 cm spacing. There are altogether eight treatments replicates thrice. Local variety Calabrese was used. Significant effect of different dose of nitrogen and boron on yield attributing characters was found. Also interactive effect of nitrogen and boron in number of pods, pod length, seed yield and number of seeds per pod was found significantly different.

The site of origin is South America. It is tuberous plant which mainly contains water and fructooligosaccharide. The economical part of the plant is the storage tuberous roots which have many advantages to health. The weight of the storage roots varies from hundred grams to kilogram. Fructo-oligosaccharides which is sweet in taste and made up of fructose, it is indigestible polysaccharide when pass through the alimentary canal remain unmetabolised. This polysachharide is beneficial for bacteria of alimentary canal and good for digestion process and colon health.

production of broccoli cv. Calabrese. The experiment was laid out in three factorial RCBD with three replications.
Treatments consisted of four levels of nitrogenous fertilizer viz. 100, 150, 200, 250 kg ha-1 N, two levels of Boron
viz. 15 kg ha-1 borax and no borax, two levels of head harvesting viz. head harvest at marketable stage and no head
harvest. The results revealed that nitrogen levels, application of boron and head harvest significantly influenced the
seed yield of broccoli. The highest seed yield (1296 kg ha-1) was obtained with 200 kg ha-1 N applied along with 15
kg ha-1 borax and main head harvesting. The seed quality parameters like test weight, germination percent and vigor
index were also influenced by treatments. Significantly higher test weight was obtained with 200 kg ha-1 N, borax @
15 kg ha-1 and head harvesting. Similarly, germination percent and vigor index of seed were significantly higher
with 150- 200 kg ha-1 N application, borax @ 15 kg ha-1 and harvesting of main head. Comparing these treatments
nitrogen 200 kg ha-1 along with borax 15 kg ha-1 and main head harvesting was found superior and economical for
seed production of broccoli with B:C ratio of 4.79
