Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted to assess the effect of boron on yield and yield attributes of Broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) in acid soil during Rabi season of 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 at Research Farm of College of Agriculture, Central Agricultural University, Imphal, Manipur. The experiment was laid out following a factorial randomized block design with four replications. The treatment consist of three level of boron viz., 0, 1.0 kg B/ha and 1.5 kg B/ha. Economic analysis of treatments was also worked out to find out the profitable treatment. The result revealed that the effect of boron application on yield and yield attributes of broccoli was found positive and significant. Maximum curd diameter, curd weight, curd initiation, curd maturity, nutrient content and yield as well as highest net return and B:C ratio in both years were obtained from the application of 1.5 Kg/ha boron.
