Abstract:
The field experiment was conducted at Horticulture Farm, S.K.N. College of Agriculture, Jobner (Jaipur) during Rabi season 2017-18. The experiment consisted of sixteen treatment combinations including four NAA (control, NAA @ 100 ppm, NAA @ 200 ppm, and NAA @ 300 ppm) and four boron levels (control, boron @ 0.75 kg/ha, boron @ 1.5 kg/ha and boron @ 2.25 kg/ha) were under taken in randomized block design with three replications.
The results of the study clearly indicated that application of NAA @ 300 ppm to the sprouting broccoli significantly increased the plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves per plant, leaf area, chlorophyll content in leaves (3.01mg/g), ascorbic acid content (83.89 mg/100g) protein content, boron content, as compared to control and found at par to NAA @ 200 ppm. Application of NAA @ 300 ppm days taken to curd formation was found minimum as compared to control. Similarly, boron levels significantly increased the plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves per plant, leaf area, chlorophyll content in leaves (2.98 mg/g), ascorbic acid content (88.36 mg/100g) protein content, boron content, as compared to control and found at par to boron @ 1.5kg/ha. Application of NAA @ 300 ppm days taken to curd formation was found minimum as compared to control.
