Pre-Harvest Foliar Application Effects of Mineral Nutrients on Yield, Quality and Shelf Life of Broccoli

This study was conducted at the farmer’s field of Jashore Sadar Upazila, Bangladesh during Rabi seasons 2020-2021 to evaluate pre-harvest foliar application effects mineral nutrients on yield, quality and shelf life broccoli. The experiment designed in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD), including three replications seven treatments for which were: T1=control, [email protected]%, [email protected]%), T4= [email protected]%, [email protected]%, [email protected]%, T7= (Ca+B+Zn+Mo+Mn)@o.30%. In order determine broccoli, a Completely (CRD) with considering factors; (i) nutrient sources; (ii) room temperature along storage materials, (iii) cold materials that were used accordingly. Findings revealed had significant influence post-harvest quality, treatment T7 (Ca+B+Zn+Mo+Mn)@o.30% produced significantly all respects yield contributing attributes denoting curd length, diameter, marketable same effectively increased such as color, compactness, texture, dry matter, fats, carbohydrates, energy, vitamin C, antioxidants, phenols content curd. addition, also recorded highest 7.25 days (14-240c RH 60-65%) 24.33 (40c 90-95%) conditions within High-Density Polyethylene (HDP; 15 micron) Vacuum pack.
