The Effects of Vermicompost and Green Manure Use on Yield and Economic Factors in Broccoli

The objective of this paper is to evaluate the yield, quality and unit production cost broccoli grown under green manure, vermicompost chemical fertilization. For purpose, plants were cultivated as follows: (i) Chemical fertilization (CF), (ii) Vermicompost (V), (iii) (VeV) in common vetch land a pre-plant (iv) Vetch (Ve) pre-plant. Curd yield (g plant−1), SPAD, vitamin C (mg 100 g−1), total phenolics GAE mL−1), sugar (%) soluble solid content (SSC%) determined. In addition, input usage levels costs, product gross net profit analyzes investigated for all treatments. highest curd weight was obtained from VeV treatment (1567.77 g), while lowest mean reached Ve plots with 819.70 g. SPAD values detected CF (70.20) (69.76) similar values. V (92.31 mg g−1) (1308.87 mL−1). combined effect increased curds. As result economic analysis, approximately twice difference emerged compared other It determined that 68% value 64% obtained.
