Abstract:
The experiment was conducted in the Horticulture Farm, Shar-e-Bangla
Agricultural University, Dhaka during October 2012 to March 2013. The
experiment consisted of two factors, such as Factor A: Three levels of Gibberellic
acid
3
0
: 0
1
: 60 ppm GA
3
and G
2
: 90 ppm GA
, respectively
and Factor B: Four levels of phosphorus i.e. P
0
: 0
1
3
: 120; P
: 140 and
P
3
: 160 kg P
2
O
/ha. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block
Design with three replications. Gibberellic acid and phosphorus fertilizer
influenced significantly on most of the parameters. In case of GA
5
, the highest
curd yield
and the lowest curd yield
0
. For phosphorous, P
2
1
performed the highest curd yield
. For combined effect, the highest
curd yield
1
0
P
and the lowest curd yield
0
P
0
. So, 60 ppm GA
3
with 140 kg P
2
2
O
/ha was the best for growth
and yield of broccoli.
