Response of Integrated Nutrient Management on The Economics of Broccoli (Brassica Oleracea L. Var. Italica) CV. Pusa KTS-1

A field experiment was carried out during 2019-20 and 2020-21 at Horticulture Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Chaudhary Charan Singh University Campus, Meerut (U.P) to find out the response of integrated nutrient management on economics of broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. var. italica) CV. Pusa KTS-1. In the study total number of twelve treatments were used i.e. T₁ (Control), T₂ (RDF 150: 100: 100 N.P.K), T₃ (Azospirillum @ 5 kg), T₄ (VC @ 10 t/ha), T₅ (80% NPK + Azospirillum @ 1 kg), T₆ (60% NPK + 2t/ha VC + Azospirillum @ 1 kg), T₇ (60% NPK + Azospirillum @ 2 kg), T₈ (60% NPK + 4 t/ha VC), T₉ (40% NPK + Azospirillum @ 3 kg), T₁₀ (30% NPK + 7t/ha VC), T₁₁ (20% NPK + Azospirillum @ 4 kg), T₁₂ (20% NPK + 8t/ha VC). All treatments were randomly distributed among the plots and uniformly replicated three times. Results indicated that maximum mean value of gross income Rs. 573615, net income Rs. 398860.5 and B: C ratio 3.27 were recorded under 60% NPK + 2t/ha VC + Azospirillum @ 1kg. However, the control treatment showed minimum values in term of all economic parameters.
