A study entitled “Performance of different varieties of broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) under Prayagraj agro-climatic condition” was carried out at crop Vegetable Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj (Allahabad), U. P. during academic session 2021-22. The experiment consists of   7 Varieties in 3 replications. The result showed that there were significant differences found among all the varieties. Growth parameters viz. plant height, plant spread, no. of leaves/plant and leaf area were significantly higher in V1(GREEN MAGIC) their respected values are 59.26cm, 65.77cm, 20.33 and 207.33cm² whereas minimum in V7 (WALTHAM) 55.58cm, 63.22cm, 18.11 and 146.55cm² respectively. Yield parameters viz. head diameter, net curd weight, total curd weight, curd yield /plot(kg) and curd yield /hectare (tonnes) were higher in V1(GREEN MAGIC) their respected values are 25.67cm, 517.69grams, 592.49grams, 3.92kg and 21.80tonnes whereas minimum in V7 (WALTHAM) 318.28grams, 375.58grams, 2.58kg and 14.39tonnes respectively. Regarding quality parameters viz. TSS and Vitamin-C Content were significantly higher in V1 (GREEN MAGIC) (8.20 0B and 82.12 mg/100 g).  And quality parameters of the crop were lower in V7 (WALTHAM). Further, it can be concluded that V1 (GREEN MAGIC) was the best Variety on the basis of growth, yield and quality parameters.

The present experiment was carried out during 2021-22 with an aim to study the different treatments of organic fertilizers on growth, yield and quality of Cauliflower and to work out with economics, in Central Horticulture Research Farm of Department of Horticulture, SHUATS,. The experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design with 10 treatment replicated three times. The treatments were T1 FYM 100% (100:40:100), T2 Vermicompost (75%) + Poultry manure (25%), T3 Vermicompost (75%) + Goat manure (25%), T4 Vermicompost (50%) + Poultry manure (50%), T5 Vermicompost (50%) + Goat manure (50%), T6 Vermicompost (25%) + Poultry manure (75%), T7 Vermicompost (25%) + Goat manure (75%), T8 {Vermicompost + Poultry manure} (75%) + Goat manure (25%), T9{Vermicompost + Poultry manure} (50%) + Goat manure (50%), T10{Vermicompost + Poultry manure} (25%) + Goat manure (75%). From the present investigation it was concluded that treatment T5 Vermicompost (50%) + Goat manure (50%) was found best in the terms of Plant height (cm), Leaf Length (cm), Number of leaves per plant, Head size (cm), Head weight (g), Net weight of head per plot, Yield per plot (kg), TSS, Acidity (%),B:C Ratio.
