Abstract:
An experiment entitled “Growth, yield and economics of broccoli( Brassica oleracea) as influenced by organic and inorganic nutrients” was carried out at the site for “Network project on Bio fertilizer” in the campus of College of Agriculture, Orissa University of Agriculture and Technology, Bhubaneswar during Rabi 2008-09 and 2009-10. Results revealed that out of ten treatments tried, the T10 i.e. 75% NP+ 100% K+
bio inoculants+ VC (5t/ha) proved to be the best on account of growth factor such as plant height, leaf area and curd diameter. The plant height, leaf area and curd diameter in T10 was 41.58 cm, 363.32 cm2 and 46.91 cm respectively. The yield was also highest in T10 i.e. 149.43 q/ha. Similarly, the highest net return was also obtained from T10 i.e. ` 95,455 with benefit cost ratio of 3.45.
