Abstract
A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different organic sources and fertility levels on the growth, yield, quality and economics of sprouting broccoli under semi-arid conditions of Rajasthan. Significant increase in plant height, number of leaves, leaf area, volume and diameter of head, total head yield, crude protein and chlorophyll content in head was recorded under various levels of organic sources and fertility levels. Growth, yield and quality attributes were recorded maximum under treatment combination of vermi-compost 5.0 t ha-1 along with 125% recommended dose of fertilizers (NPK, 100, 80 and 60 kg/ ha), which was at par with poultry manure 5.0 t ha-1 and 100% recommended dose of fertilizers, respectively. Furthermore, it also registered maximum net return and B:C ratio (4.09) than rest of the treatments.
