Abstract:
The present investigation was carried out on “Response of organic manures and liquid biostimulants on growth, yield and economics on broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. var. italica)” at Horticultural Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during rabi, 2021-22. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design replicated thrice with fifteen treatments which included different components viz, Jeevamrut, Farm yard manure, Vermicompost and Anubhav Bio-NPK in different combinations with different compositions. Among all the different treatments application of i.e. Farm yard manure @ 15 t/ha + Vermicompost @ 3.75 t/ha + Jeevamrut @ 3% (Drenching and Foliar spray at 30 and 60 DAT) + Anubhav Bio-NPK (Drenching and Foliar spray at 30 and 60 DAT) had manifested its effect on growth attributes significant and produced significantly earliness in curd initiation and maturation, curd diameter and weight and in term high curd yield (13.31 t/ha) as well as net realization. However, treatment of (Farm yard manure 20 t/ha + Anubhav Bio-NPK (Drenching and Foliar spray at 30 and 60 DAT) had also given highest BCR (7.20) due to lover treatment cost but lower yield (11.95 t/ha).
