| dc.description.abstract | The present investigation was carried out during winter season of 2004-2005 at Vegetable Research Centre of G.B. Pant University of Agriculture & Technology, Pantnagar, District Udham Singh Nagar (Uttaranchal) to study the effect of date of planting and spacing on growth and production of broccoli. Treatments comprising of five dates of planting viz., 1 October, 15 October, 30 October, 14 November and 29 November and three spacings viz,. 45 × 30 cm, 45 × 45 cm and 45 × 60 cm, were tested in Factorial Randomized Block Design with the three replications. The observations were recorded on growth characters, maturity parameters, yield and yield attributes, quality characters and shelf life. The results portrayed that date of planting and spacing individually or in combinations, influenced the growth and production of broccoli. Amongst the dates of planting, 15 October and amongst the spacings the narrowest one i.e., 45 × 30 cm gave the highest yields. Although the average head size was best in the 15 October planting done at 45 × 60 cm spacing but looking at the larger yield difference and reasonably optimum head size, the planting on 15 October at 45 × 30 cm spacing was rated best. The correlation studies showed positive correlation of yield with plant height, stalk length, length of longest leaf and equatorial and polar diameter of the head. | en_US |
