Studies on the effect of different organic sources (soil, FYM, cocopeat, vermicompost, neem cake, and poultry manure) and varieties (V2 Pusa KTS-1 and V1 Green Head) on different growth attributes in sprouting broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica Plenck). Experiment was carried out in a randomized block design with three replications at the Department of Horticulture, Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University Lucknow, 226025 (U P), India, during the Rabi season of 2019-2020. We examined different growth parameters such as Plant height, Number of leaves per plant, Stem diameter (mm), Plant spread east-west (cm), Plant spread north-south (cm), Length of leaves, and Width of leaves. We found that growth parameter are highly effected by vermicompost over the poultry manure, while minimums were reported for S (soil) or control, as well as Neemcake, FYM, and cocopeat at all stages. Hence, organic manure (vermicompost) had the highest effects on growth attributes. We found that variety V2 (Pusa KTS-1) has a significantly greater effect on vermicopost than variety V1 (Green Head).

A field experiment was conducted on Horticulture Research Farm –II of Department of Horticulture, School of Agricultural Sciences and Technology, Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, Lucknow, India, during the academic year of 2019-20. to study the effect of micronutrient spray on the physical parameters of guava cv. Allahabad Safeda on 10 - year- old guava plants that fruit set (68.80 %) fruit retention (65.89%) fruit length (7.59 cm), fruit width (6.75 cm), fruit weight (136.8 g.) fruit volume (148.13cm3), specific gravity(0.92), fruit yield per plant (42.20kg/plant), and yield (q/ha) were obtained maximum with the foliar spray of zinc sulphate T3 (0.4%) and borax T9 (0.4%) respectively.
