ABSTRACT

The exotic vegetable broccoli, or Brassica oleracea L.var Italica Plenck, is a staple of the winter season and a major source of plant nutrients. One of the most important factors in increasing crop productivity is plant nutrition. Due to the effects of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium on meristematic activity, mineral fertiliser enhances broccoli growth and output. The regular growth and development of plants require the critical elements boron and molybdenum. The characteristics of plant growth were measured twice during the vegetation period. The first measurement was made 40 days after planting, while the second measurement was made 70 days later. For the purpose of measuring the plant growth parameters of shoot and root fresh weight, plant height, root length, shoot and root dry weight, and leaf count, two plants were taken from each replication. Mineral content of leaves, overall yield, and ascorbic acid concentration of broccoli heads were all calculated at the conclusion of the experiment. As a consequence, it was discovered that some organic manures and bio-fertilizers significantly enhanced broccoli's output, nutrient absorption, and ascorbic acid concentration in the heads of the plant.
