Growth and Yield of Broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica L.) to Different Planting Times

The study was conducted at the Horticulture Farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Bangladesh during the period from October 2011 to March 2012. The experiment consisted three different planting times as T1: Planting at 3rd November, 2011; T2: Planting at 18th November, 2011 and T3: Planting at 3rd December, 2011 using Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Maximum weight of primary curd/plant (427.8 g), diameter of primary curd (10.1 cm), weight of secondary curd (66.8 g), dry matter content of leaves (13.6 g), yield/plot (9.9 kg) and yield (10.6 t/ha) was found from T2 while minimum from T3 . So, planting at 18th November was better for the broccoli production in Bangladesh
