 Abstract

An experiment was carried out at the Horticultural Research Farm, of Sher-e Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka during the period from September 2007 to March 2008 to study the effect of different transplanting dates (October 5, October 25, November 14 and December 4) on the growth and yield of broccoli. Different transplanting dates showed significant influence on the yield and yield contributing characters of broccoli. Weight of curd plant-1 (319.11g), curd yield plot-1 (7.83kg) and curd yield ha-1 (13.04 ton) were decreased with delay in transplanting. The highest curd yield ha-1 was obtained from the 25th October transplanting while the lowest from the 4 th December transplanting.
