| Abstract: |
Broccoli is a very nutritious vegetable among cole crops (having 129 times more
vitamin A than cauliflower) but very little attention has ·been paid for research in Nepal.
An experiment was carried out for two consecutive years during 2005 and 2006 with
the objective to find out appropriate planting date for off-season broccoli production.
Premium Crop, Centauro and Green Sprouting varieties were planted at five different
times in 30 days interval from March to July. The experiments were executed in RCB
design with three replications. Variety Centauro was found best in April planting
producing 12.42 t/ha followed by March planting (10.10 t/ha). While, variety Premium
Crop produced the highest yi~ld both in March and April planting with 12.68_and 12.15
t/ha, respectively. Green Sprouting yielded 5.29 t/ha in March planting and 4. 0.4 t/ha in
April planting. All three varieties did not respond well "from May onwards because of
high rainfall. Considering yield parameters Centauro. found suitable for April planting
and Premium Crop for March and April plantings. |
