Influence of nitrogen levels and micronutrients on growth and yield parameters on cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis)

Abstract

The present research work entitled “Influence of nitrogen levels and micronutrients on growth and yield parameters on Cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis) conducted at the Guru Kashi University Research Farm during the rabi season of the year 2023-2024 to find out the response of combination of nitrogen (0, 25, 40, 50, 60 and 70 kg/acre) with 100 ppm Boron and 50 ppm molybdenum. The experiment was consisted six treatment combinations and was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with four replications. Maximum plant height (72.75 cm) and breadth of leaf (23.50 cm) was recorded from 40 kg N / acre +100 ppm B + 50 ppm Mo in cauliflower. The maximum plant height (28.47 cm), highest leaf length (47.75 cm), the number of leaves per plant (22.75), equatorial diameter (18.47 cm), polar diameter (18.62 cm), weight without folded leaves (800.75 gm), curd yield/plot (15.17 kg) and total yield 117.85 (q/acre) in cauliflower was observed in treatment 50 kg N /acre +100 ppm B + 50 ppm Mo.
