Abstract
A field experiment was conducted on “Effect of different levels of Nitrogen, Sulphur and their interaction on growth, yield and quality in broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. var. italica) cv. Pusa KTS-1”at Vegetable Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi UP, India. Rabi-2017-18.There were sixteen treatments in different levels of Nitrogen, Sulphur and their combinations, cunducted in factorial randomized block design (F-RBD) with three replications. The objective of the present study was to generate information on effect of nitrogen, sulphur and their intractions on growth, yield and quality in broccoli.Among sixteen treatments, maximum height of plant, leaf length, leaf width and number of leaves per plant in broccoli were recorded with the application of 150 kg N and 90 kg S ha-1(S3N3). However, the reduction in days of curd initiation was observed in 60 kg S and 0 kg N ha-1 (S2N0). Contrary to this, yield parameters such as curd weight, curd length, curd diameter and curd stalk girth were observed to be maximum with application of 150 Kg N and 90 Kg S ha-1(S3N3). The qualitative parameters such as TSS, ascorbic acid and chlorophyll contents of curd were also found to be maximum with 150 Kg N and 90 Kg S ha-1(S3N3). Hence the treatment combination S3N3 should be adopted for better growth, yield and quality of broccoli production under eastern Uttar Pradesh.
