Abstract
The investigation entitled “Response of Stagger Planting of different Broccoli Varieties under Northern Hill Zone (Mainpat) of Chhattisgarh” was conducted during Rabi season of 2017-18 at the Potato & Temperate Fruit Research Station, Mainpat, Surguja under Department of Vegetable Science, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur. The experiment was replicated thrice in split plot design during 2017-18. It comprised 6 dates of transplanting i.e. 1st October, 16th October, 1st November, 16th November, 1st December and 16th December in main plot. There were 4 sub plot treatment i.e. varieties (Palam Haritika, Palam Samridhi, KTS-1 and Aishwarya).
Present investigation revealed that transplanting on 16th of October and variety Palam Samridhi recorded superior result as compared to other transplanting dates and varieties. Maximum results were found in number of leaves per plant (34.5), leaf length (22.5 cm), head diameter (14.5 cm), head weight (205.625 gm), number of secondary head (11.75), secondary head weight (24.5gm), head yield per plant (389.95 gm) and gross head yield (14.438 ton/ha) on 16th of October whereas plant height (54 cm) and stalk length (13 cm) on 1st of October. Days to harvest also showed maximum results on 16th of October i.e. 80.5. Genotype Palam Samridhi gives maximum results of almost all parameter i.e. number of leaves per plant (32.83), Stalk length (13.5 cm), head diameter (13.67 cm), head weight (192.17 gm), number of secondary head (12.67), secondary head weight (20.02 gm), days to harvest (83), head yield per plant (402.98 gm) and gross head yield (14.918 ton/ha) whereas Aishwarya genotype showed maximum plant height (55.33 cm) and leaf length(22.67 cm).
The performance of varieties Palam Samridhi on 16th of October showed much better result as compared to other combination treatment of varieties and date of transplanting for number of leaves per plant, Stalk length, head diameter, head weight, number of secondary head, secondary head weight , Days to harvest , head yield per plant and gross head yield.
The finding indicates that the early sown broccoli i.e. 16th of October and variety Palam Samridhi give significant result under Northern Hill Zone (Mainpat) of Chhattisgarh.
