ABSTRACT

 

Studies on performance of varieties and spacing on broccoli at Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University Lucknow (UP) on Horticulture  Research Farm during rabi season 2019-2020.We used three varieties (V1: Broccoli green, V2: Pusa KTS-1, and V3: Ganesh) and three spacings (S1: 45×45 cm, S2 :  60 ×45 cm, and S3 : 50 × 45 cm) in an FRBD design with three replications and nine treatments in the research work. We studies different growth attributes (Width of leaves (cm)), Stem diameter (cm), Plant spread (East-West), Plant spread (North–South), yield attributes (Curd size (Horizontal)), Curd size (Vertical), Total curd yield (q/ha) and Quality attributes (TSS and Ascorbic acid) in broccoli. Found that result in the variety of (Pusa KTS-1) with spacing (S2 : 60 × 45 cm) in the most of growth, yield and quality parameters as compared to Ganesh with (S3 : 50 × 45 cm) and lower recorded in the variety Green Broccoli with (S1 : 45 × 45 cm).
