Abstract:
The field experiment was conducted at Horticulture Research Farm-I, Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, Lucknow (U.P.), during rabi season of 2018-19 to study the influenced of varieties and spacing on horticultural traits of knolkhol (Brassica oleracea var. gongylodes L.). Four varieties and four spacings were evaluated in factorial randomized block design with three replications. The results revealed that the maximum plant height (17.59 cm and 29.60 cm), number of leaves (11.50 and 19.00), leaf length (12.50 cm and 24.43 cm), leaf width (10.32 cm and 26.70 cm) at 30 DAT and at harvest were recorded in variety White Vienna. plant spread (29.80cm) were noted in variety Palam Tender Knob. The stem girth, days to knob initiation and knob harvest were not assessed non-significant with varieties. In general, lowest values of growth attributes were noted under Pusa Virat. In case of spacing the maximum plant height (18.07 cm and 31.14 cm), number of leaves (11.66 and 18.12), leaf length (13.01 cm and 24.93 cm), leaf width (10.39 cm and 26.79 cm) at 30 DAT and at harvest and plant spread (30.84 cm) were recorded in spacing 60 x45 cm.
