Broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) which belongs to Brassicaceae family, is an Italian vegetable, native to Mediterranean region. Although broccoli is not so popular yet in Jharkhand, it is slowly gaining popularity during the last few years among the consumers due to its nutritional value including flavour, taste, carotenoids and anticancerous properties. Among the entire cole family, broccoli is rated as most remunerative. To assess the impact of foliar spray of boron, Urea and GA3 on earliness in curd production of broccoli cv. FIESTA under Ranchi condition, experiments were carried out at the Department of Horticulture, Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, Jharkhand during winter season of 2013-14 and 2014-15, The experiment was done in Randomized Block Design having sixteen different treatments with three replications. It was recorded that various treatments have influenced the days to curd initiation, days to 50% of curd initiation, days to curd maturity. In general it was recorded that urea application @ 1.0% and 1.5% had advanced the days of initiation and maturity of the curd. Spray of GA3 at different concentrations of 25 ppm, 50 ppm and 75 ppm had influenced the earliness of the curd positively. GA3 @ (75 ppm) in combination of urea @ (0.5%) and Boron @ (2%) however enhanced the earliness maximum.Keywords

Broccoli (Brassica oleracea var italica) is an important cole crop belonging to Crucifer family. Being native to Mediterranean region, its cultivation started in Italy in ancient roman times. It is gaining fast popularity during the last few years among the consumers particularly in and around bigger cities owing to the increased awareness about the nutritional properties as well as palatability. For better yield, application of nutrients and phyto hormones is an important consideration. Various doses of foliar application of boron, urea and GA3 may affect the proper growth and development of broccoli. Accordingly the objective here was to study the effect of boron, urea and GA3 on various vegetative growth parameters of broccoli. The experimental design was Randomized BlockDesign, with three replication and sixteen treatments, under field conditions in the year 2013-14 and 2014-15. The foliar spray of various combination of nutrient and phyto hormones was done twice at 20 days and 40 days after transplanting and status regarding plant height, number of leaves, leaf length, leaf width, stalk length and plant spread were recorded thrice at 20, 40 and 60 days after transplanting. The result shows that in general the significant increases in various vegetative parameters were noticed upto the combination of urea @ 1.0% and GA3 @ 50 ppm. However, the combination of urea @ 1.5% and GA3 75 ppm had recorded with the maximum value. Thus, the urea @ 1.0% and GA3 @ 50 ppm may be safely utilized for the better vegetative growth and development.Keywords
