Abstract:
The present investigation was conducted at Horticultural Research Farm, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand in rabi season during the two consecutive years, 2019-20 and 2020-21. In triplicate replications, the experiment was designed in a split plot which consists of twelve treatment combinations. Three main plot treatments of growing conditions [G1: Poly house, G2: Green shade net (50 % Shade net) and G3: Open condition] and four subplot treatments of integrated nutrient management reside of N1: 50% RDF(chemical fertilizer)+ 50% RDF (FYM), N2: 50% RDF (chemical fertilizer) +50% RDF(vermicompost), N3: 50% RDF (chemical fertilizer) + 50% RDF (poultry manure) and N4: Control (RDF, 100:50:50 NPK kg/ha). Growing broccoli in polyhouse conditions recorded minimum days for first harvest and maximum curd height, curd diameter, curd weight, yield (t/ha), TSS, dry matter content, and ascorbic acid. The minimum days for the first harvest and maximum curd height, curd diameter, curd weight, yield (t/ha), TSS, dry matter content, and ascorbic acid were observed with the application of 50 % RDF through chemical fertilizer +50% RDF through vermicompost. Growing broccoli in polyhouse condition with application of 50 % RDF through chemical fertilizer +50% RDF through vermicompost recorded maximum curd height, curd diameter, curd weight, and yield (t/ha).
