Abstract

Studies on the effect of different organic sources (soil, FYM, cocopeat, vermicompost, neem cake, and poultry manure) and varieties (V2 Pusa KTS-1 and V1 Green Head) on different growth attributes in sprouting broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica Plenck). Experiment was carried out in a factorial random block design with three replications at the Department of Horticulture, Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University Lucknow, 226025 (U P), India, during the Rabi season of 2019-2020. We examined different growth parameters such as Plant height, Number of leaves per plant, Stem diameter (mm), Plant spread east-west (cm), Plant spread north-south (cm), Length of leaves, and Width of leaves. We found that growth parameter are highly effected by vermicompost over the poultry manure, while minimums were reported for S (soil) or control, as well as Neemcake, FYM, and cocopeat at all stages. Hence, organic manure (vermicompost) had the highest effects on growth attributes. We found that variety V2 (Pusa KTS-1) has a significantly greater effect on vermicopost than variety V1 (Green Head).
