Abstract: The research experiment was conducted under the title; “Response of organic manures and biofertilizers on growth of broccoli in region Khiala, Punjab.” was carried out at the research studies farm, Department of Agriculture, Sant Baba Bhag Singh University, Khiala, Jalandhar during Rabi season 2023-24.The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design with three replications and 8 treatments comprising of T0-Control (No Organic Manure), T1-Farm Yard Manure (20 t/ha), T2-Vermicompost (5 t/hac), T3-Neem Cake (2 t/hac), T4-Azotobacter + Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria (PSB), T5-Farm yard manure + Azotobacter + PSB, T6-Vermicompost + Azotobacter + PSB, T7-Neem cake + Azotobacter + PSB. It was observed that treatment T6 (Vermicompost + Biofertilizers) shows a superior result in growth (Plant height, number of leaves per plant, leaf length, leaf breadth and head size). Overall combined application of organic manures and biofertilizers for better growth of broccoli crop.
