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, comprising of 18 treatment combinations replicated four times, was laid out in split-plot design with three fertigation levels of NPK (F50, F75 and F100) with main plot and two levels of biofertilizers (without and with Azotobacter + PSB) were added in sub plots. The results of the study have clearly shown that application of fertigation levels (F75) significantly increased yield attributes and yield (volume of head, diameter of head, weight of main head and secondary head, total head yield per bed and per hectare and biological yield). While biofertilizers (Azotobacter + PSB) in combination significantly enhanced the growth parameters (plant height, number of leaves, leaf area), yield attributes and yield (volume of head, diameter of head, weight of main head and secondary head, total head yield per bed and per hectare and biological yield).
Key words:Fertigation, Biofertilizer, Azotobacter, Growth, yield, Harvest, Broccoli.
