Abstract

The broccoli transplanted on April 30th yielded a much higher maximum yield (217.48 Three distinct locations in the Kalahandi District—Dahal, Boria, and Kesinga—were used to test the impact of transplanting dates on the growth and yield of broccoli (Brassica oleracea). Three transplanting dates (15 April, 30 April, and 15 May) and three sites (Dahal, Boria, and Kesinga villages) comprised the treatment combinations in a factorial randomised block design (FRBD) with three replications. q/ha) than the transplants made on the other days. The third location, the village of Kesinga, had the highest yield, head diameter, head weight, and non-wrapper leaf counts by a wide margin. Regarding yield per hectare, there was a considerable interaction between the transplanting dates and the location. On April 30, in the village of Dahal, transplanting was the treatment combination that produced the highest yield per hectare (215.39 q/ha).

Conclusion

The current study's findings showed that the best time to transplant broccoli was on April 30th, as this produced the largest yield. The settlement of Kesinga recorded the highest number of non-wrapper leaves, head diameter, and plant height (S3). Among the various treatment combinations, S3T2 village Kesinga produced the highest head yield per plot (8.62 kg) and per hectare (215.55q).
