The present study evaluates Poly House and Open field production of quality Sprouting broccoli. Sprouting broccoli is an exotic vegetable which is gaining popularity among Indian growers due to its high nutritive value and market potential in the recent years. Experiment was conducted to determine the growth, yield and quality of sprouting broccoli under polyhouse and open field condition at Horticultural Research Station, Mondouri, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Mohanpur, Nadia, West Bengal (India) during the months of October to March (2010 to 2012). The experiment consisted of two growing conditions (viz, Polyhouse and Open field) with four hybrid varieties (viz, Early You, Princess, Fiesta and Nokguk). Results indicated that the plants grown in the polyhouse were superior than those grown in the field. Quality attributes like, Chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll, reducing sugar , non-reducing sugar and total sugar were also found significantly increased in pol...

Broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica. L.) is one of the most prominent vegetable grown all over the world and is an important fancy and highly nutritive exotic vegetable. Vegetables play a very important role in our daily diet. As an unconventional vegetable “Broccoli” is yet to gain the desired popularity in our country. It is very rich source of various anti-cancer agents as well as Vitamin C and dietary fibre. However, considerable attention is being given on the production technology of Broccoli which is rich in nutrient content and greater yield potential. But yet, no systematic work has been done on evaluation and commercialization of high value nutrient rich this Cole crops. Therefore, the present study were carried out at Potato & Temperate Fruit Research Station, Mainpat, Surguja, Chhattisgarh under Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya during the year 2017-2018 in Rabi season with objectives to varietal performance of Broccoli and to standardize the production technolog...

This study was conducted at Vegetable Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Allahabad (U.P.) during the rabi season of 2016 to 2017 to find out the optimum time of sowing and planting spacing for broccoli varieties as Palam Samridhi, Pusa Kanchan and Lufa F1 Hybrid. Seedlings were raised by sowing on three different dates viz. 20th October, 04 November and 19 November were transplanted at spacing viz. 45 cm x 45 cm. Economic return and biochemical traits of broccoli were significantly influenced by the treatments. In view of experimental results obtained during the present investigation, treatment T4 D2 V1 04 November + V1 Palam Samridhi emerged as superior over all other treatments, in relation to economic return, cost benefit ratio and biochemical traits of broccoli under the agro-climatic condition of Allahabad.
Performance of broccoli variety TSX-0788 under Bishnupur District, Manipur
The Pharma Innovation Journal , 2021
Broccoli is a high value nutritive crop grown in small pockets without the proper knowledge of cultivation and selection of proper variety is the main concern in Manipur. Most of the farmers in Manipur grow random broccoli varieties found in the authorized shops like Delbros, Khoyathong, Manipur. Hence, to find out the yield potential and its economic impact, two high yielding broccoli varieties, TSX-0788 and Green Magic were chosen for the study at five different locations viz., Leimaram, Toubul, Kwasiphai, Moirang and Kumbi of Bishnupur district, Manipur using Front Line Demonstration (FLD) technique. The adopted package of practices was seed rate 400 g/ha, spacing 60x45 cm, FYM 500Kg/ha. NPK 120:80:60 Kg/ha. Results indicated that the variety TSX-0788 was found superior to Green Magic in terms of yield and net return. Broccoli variety TSX-0788 could obtain the yield of approximately 112.50 q/ha with a net return of Rs.2,65,150/-and a benefit cost ratio of 4.66:1; while the check variety Green Magic obtained 103.53 q/ha with a net return of Rs.2,38,210/-and a benefit cost ratio of 3.65:1. The percent increase in yield over the check variety was 58.1%.The technology gap, extension gap and technology index were 72.5 q/ha, 8.98 q/ha and 37.5% respectively. From the current findings it can be concluded that selection of broccoli variety TSX-0788 could help to improve the economy of the farmers.

A field experiment was carried out at the Vegetable Research Farm, Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur (U.P.) during Rabi season 2021-22. The experiment consists of twenty-four treatment combinations of six sources of organic manure and four levels of major nutrients. The experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design with replicated three times. Palam samridhi variety of broccoli was transplanted at spacing of 45x45 cm. Results of the experiment revealed that the growth characters of broccoli like plant height (cm), number of leaves plant-1, plant spread, stem diameter and Yield attributes viz total head yield per plot(kg) and total head yield (q/ha) were significantly higher under M6 (FYM 20t + Vermicompost 5 t + Poultry manure 5 t ha-1) source of manure which was at par application of M4 (Vermicompost 5 t ha-1) whereas in case of major nutrients it was significantly higher under application of (140:80:80 kg NPK ha-1) but it was at p...

Broccoli (Brassica oleraceae var. Italica) belongs to the family cruciferae which is mainly used as vegetable at its tender stage. The study was conducted to evaluate the morphological, phenological, head and yield traits of broccoli genotypes at Karma Innovative Research and Development Stations of Kathmandu, Kavre and Kaski district of Nepal from September 2019 to March 2020. The experiment was laid out on Randomized Complete Block Design with four replications at each location. Genotypes, location and interaction between them showed significant variation on almost all parameters. BL-17001, BL-18012 and Centauro genotypes were observed with no lateral heads, which means low yield than other varieties. BL-16003 was observed with maximum yield (1.0 kg/plant at Kathmandu and kavre and 0.9 kg/plant at Kaski) at all locations comparing to other genotypes. Among high-yielding genotypes (BL-16003 and BL-18009) BL-16003 found as early maturing and also had lateral heads so, it can also be...
Impact of micronutrients and organics on performance of sprouting broccoli (Brassica oleracea)
The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences
An experiment was conducted during winter (rabi) seasons of 2019–20 and 2020–21 at the research farm of Sri Karan Narendra Agriculture University College, of Agriculture, Jobner, Rajasthan to study the effect of micronutrients and organics on performance of sprouting broccoli (Brassica oleracea L.). A trial having 25 treatments was conducted in Factorial Randomized Blocks Design (F-RBD) with 3 replications. The treatments grouped into categories consisting 5 micronutrients (control, borax @15 kg/ha, Znso4 @25 kg/ha, (NH4)2MoO @1.5 kg/ha and Mnso4 @10 kg/ha) and another category consisted 5 organics (control, cowurine @10%, panchagavya @5%, vermiwash @10% and azotobacter). The results indicated that soil application of Znso4 as well as foliar application of 5% panchagavya to the sprouting broccoli significantly increased most of the plant attributes i.e. plant hight (71.88 cm and 71.95 cm), no. of leaves/plant (31.38 and 31.12), leaf area (3055 cm2 and 3068 cm2), chl-a (2.90 mg/g and...

Optimum plant spacing and availability of suitable high yielding cultivars may help the farmers to achieve more returns per unit area by efficient absorption of nutrients and trapping of solar energy. The effect of growing different varieties at various spacing under south Gujarat condition is not tested. Keeping this in view, the present investigation was planned to study during Rabi, 2019-20 at Vegetable Research Farm, Regional Horticultural Research Station, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari, Gujarat, India. There were nine treatment combinations comprising three levels of plant spacings i.e. S1: 30 cm × 30 cm, S2: 45 cm × 30 cm and S3: 45 cm × 45 cm as well as three varieties i.e. V1: Pusa KTS 1, V2: Palam Samridhi and V3: Ganesh Broccoli in a Randomized Block Design (Factorial) with three replications. The results of the study inferred that, maximum values for growth, yield and quality parameters were observed at wider spacing of 45 cm × 45 cm while maximum yield was obtained from closer spacing of 30 cm × 30 cm. Among the all varieties Palam Samridhi performed best and recorded highest values for growth, yield and quality parameters. Variety Palam Samridhi at closer spacing of 30 cm × 30 cm found best for securing higher yield (13.86 t/ha) and higher BCR (1.91) ratio of broccoli.
