Abstract: |
The experiment was conducted at farmer's field of Gaindakot, Nawalparasi during October 2012 to February 2013 to evaluate the influence of different sources of nitrogen and varieties on yield and quality of broccoli. The experiment was laid out in two- factorial RCBD with three replications. A total of fifteen treatments with combination of five different sources of nitrogen and three varieties were taken in each replication. The result showed that the variety Premium Crop produced the highest (23.70 t/ha) terminal curd yield in N50%Urea+N50%Vermi (20.30 t/ha) whereas Calabrese produced the highest (9.34 t/ha) auxiliary curd yield in N50%Urea+N50%Vermi (8.25 t/ha). Green Sprouting produced the highest total yield (25.10 t/ha) in N50%Urea+N50%Vermi (28.55 t/ha). Calabrese exhibited higher (13.27%) dry matter and the lowest (18.44%) physiological weight loss of curd in N100FYM.. N50%Urea+N50%Vermi produced more compact curd while N100%Vermi produced the most appreciable taste, color and overall acceptability of curd. Premium Crop performed better regarding compactness, color and acceptability of curd while Calabrese performed better on taste. Thus, Calabrese along with N100%Vermi or N100%FYM would be suggested for better quality regarding physiological weight loss and taste while Premium crop along with N100%Vermi would be suggested for attractive color and overall acceptability of curd. |
