Effect of Liquid Biofertilizers and Inorganic Fertilizers on Yield and Quality Attributes of Broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. var. italica)
Year: 2019
Type: article
Abstract: The investigation was carried out at the Department of Horticulture, College of Agriculture, VNMKV, Parbhani (M. S.) during Rabi 2018-19 to study the effect of liquid biofertilizers and inorganic fertilizers on growth attributes of broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. var. italica) Cv. Green magic. Two factors were taken for study, the first factor was the chemical fertilizers at three levels (125 %, 100 % and 75 % of RDF) and the second factor was the different biofertilizers (Azotobacter, PSB and Azotophos). The experimental design adopted was factorial randomized block design with 12 treatment combinations. The characters viz., chlorophyll contents (0.34 mg/100g), ascorbic acid (125.04 mg/100g), total yield per plant (1268.80 g), total yield per plot (31.72 gkg) and total yield per hectare (469.97 q) of broccoli were recorded highest with the application of 125 % RDF + Azotophos. The treatment of 125 % RDF + Azotophos was significant than other treatments.
