ABSTRACT
The growth and yield performance of five broccoli cultivars (Green Magic, Green Giant, Top Green, Early Green and Green Imported) were evaluated in the horticulture research field of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University, Gazipur, Bangladesh, during the winter season to find out the high yielding genotype. This field experiment was laid out following a Randomized Complete Block Design. Data on yield and yield attributes were collected at different growth stages from the plants. Statistical analysis of data was performed by MSTATC program. It was noted that the maximum plant height (62.20 cm) and leaf number (24.00) was recorded from Green Imported, while the maximum canopy spread (67 cm), curd weight (601.0 g) and total yield (21.69 t/ha) was recorded from Top Green; besides Green magic produced similar curd yield (19.63 t/ha) to Top Green. From the above outcomes, it was revealed that both Top Green and Green magic cultivation might be suitable for higher yield in the red-brown terrace series soil of Bangladesh.
