GROWTH AND YIELD OF BROCCOLI (Brassica oleracea var. italica) TO DIFFERENT ORGANIC MANURES (Pages : 29 - 32)

The experiment was conducted at Horticulture Farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Bangladesh during the period from October 2011 to March 2012 to find out the response of broccoli to different organic manures. The experiment consisted four different organic manures viz. M0: Control i.e. no manure application; M1: Cowdung @ 15 t/ha; M2: Poultry Manure @ 12 t/ha and M3: Vermicompost @ 13 t/ha following Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Maximum weight of primary curd (484.7 g), diameter of primary curd (10.0 cm), number of secondary curd (3.0), weight of secondary curd (76.7 g), dry matter content of leaves (13.9 g), dry matter content of curds (13.1 g), yield/plot (11.2 kg) and yield/hectare (12.0 ton) were found from M2 while minimum from M0.
