Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The study was carried out at the research field of the RHRS, Comilla during October, 2013 to February, 2014 to investigate the response of broccoli (Cv. Premium) to different organic fertilizers. The study was comprised of six treatment combinations i.e. T₁= Recommended dose of Chemical Fertilizer (RD) ( Cowdung-Urea, TSP, MP, Molybdenum @ 15t-250, 150, 200 and 1 kg/ha), T₂=Farm Yard Manure 5t/ha, T₃=Farm Yard Manure 5t/ha + 50% RD, T₄=Vermi Compost 2t/ ha, T₅=Vermi Compost 2t/ ha + 50% RD, T₆= No fertilizer. All the yield and yield contributing characters differed significantly among the treatments. Broccoli showed best performance in case of chemical fertilizer treatment (T₁) for yield (20.12 t ha^-1) and other character. Control treatment (T₆) gave the lowest yield (6.14 t ha^-1).

Keywords: Broccoli,Organic manures, Yield and quality

Location: Regional Horticultural Research Station, Comilla

Start Date: 00-10-2013

End Date: 00-02-2014

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Broccoli, Manures

Objectives:

To know the response of broccoli to different fertilizer treatments.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at the experimental field of Regional Horticultural Research Station, Comilla during October, 2013 to February, 2014. The experiment was laid out in RCB design with three replications. Broccoli (Premium) seeds were sown on 21 October, 2013 in the seedbed. Thirty days old seedlings were transplanted on 21 November, 2014 in the main field. The unit plot size was 3m x 1m and the seedlings were spaced at 60 cm x 40 cm, between row-to-row and plant-to-plant, respectively. The study was comprised of six treatment combinations. The treatment combinations were i.e. T₁= Recommended dose of Chemical Fertilizer (RD) ( Cowdung-Urea, TSP, MP, Molybdenum @ 15t-250, 150, 200 and 1 kg/ha), T₂=Farm Yard Manure 5t/ha, T₃=Farm Yard Manure 5t/ha + 50% RD, T₄=Vermi Compost 2t/ ha, T₅=Vermi Compost 2t/ ha + 50% RD, T₆= No fertilizer. Half amount of cowdung was applied during final land preparation. The rest amount of cowdung and TSP was applied before transplanting of seedlings. Urea and MP were applied in 2 equal installments at 15 and 35 days after transplanting. Other intercultural operations were done as required. Data were recorded and analyzed by using MSTAT program.

Achievement/Findings:

From the results, it is clear that there are significant variation among the treatments for yield and yield contributing parameters of broccoli. But the chemical fertilizers performed better than other organic fertilizer.
