ABSTRACT
The field experiment was conducted in sandy loam soil of the Horticulture farm, Rajasthan Agricultural Research Institute, Durgapura (Jaipur-Rajasthan) during rabi 2013-14 and 2014-15. The experiment, comparising of 18 treatment combinations replicated four times, was laid out in split-plot design with three irrigation regimes (I0.6, I0.8 and I1.0). The results of the study have clearly shown that application of irrigation regimes (I0.8) significantly increased growth attributes (plant height, no. of leaves, leaf area etc.), yield attributes (volume of head, diameter of head, weight of main head and secondary head, total head yield per bed and per hectare and biological yield etc.).
Key words:Drip irrigation, growth, yield, harvest and Broccoli
