Abstract

A field experiment was carried out at Horticultural Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during rabi season of the year 2021-22. The fifteen treatments were tested which included different components viz, Farm yard manure, Vermicompost, Jeevamrut and Anubhav Bio-NPK in different combinations with different compositions and which was evaluated in randomize block design with three replications. Application of Farm yard manure @ 15 t/ha + Vermicompost @ 3.75 t/ha + Jeevamrut@ 3 % (Drenching and Foliar spray at 30 and 60 DAP) + Anubhav Bio-NPK (Drenching and Foliar spray at 30 and 60 DAT) was resulted significantly increase in curd diameter, weight of curd and yield, quality parameters viz. as iron (mg/100g), potassium (mg/100g) and ascorbic acid (mg/100g). Significant difference was recorded for soil available Iron (kg/ha) and soil microbial count (GM-1). Recently people become more sensitive towards health and are very conscious; therefore, organic products have gained a wide adaptability in the markets with good remuneration. The research findings of this experiment will help to growers for the better and more sustainable production of broccoli which will be more acceptable among end users because of its organic production. It will also help to producers to fetch better prices and will help for the economic upliftment of farmers.

Conclusion

Based on the results of research experiments, it can concluded that application of Farm yard manure 15 t/ha + Vermicompost 3.75 t/ha + Jeevamrut 3 % (Drenching and Foliar spray at 30 and 60 DAP) + Anubhav Bio-NPK (Drenching and Foliar spray at 30 and 60 DAT)found the most effective treatment for increasing yield and improving quality of broccoli and soil.
