ABSTRACT
Present investigation was executed to evaluate the “Influence of enriched organic manures on yield and economics of sprouting broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica)” during rabi season at College of Horticulture, SD Agricultural University, Jagudan, Dist. Mehsana, Gujarat, India. A field experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design and replicated thrice. Significant differences among different treatments for maximum average weight of curd (236.30 g), yield per plot (3.78 kg), yield per hectare (175.15 q), maximum gross return (₹ 437875 per ha), maximum net return (₹ 355583 per ha) and B:C ratio (5.32) were recorded with application of FYM (20 t/ha) along with 100:50:50 kg/ha NPK (T1). Among the various organic manure treatments, maximum average weight of curd (196.93 g), yield per plot (3.12 kg), yield per hectare (144.45 q) and maximum gross return (₹ 361125 per ha) were recorded with treatment of RDN through vermicompost enriched with NPK consortia (T4). Whereas, maximum net return (₹ 278926 per ha) and B:C ratio (4.71) were found under treatment T5 (RDN through poultry manure enriched with NPK consortia).
Keywords Enriched organic manures, NPK consortia, RDN, Sprouting broccoli, Vermicompost.
