An experiment was conducted to assess exogenous application of phytohormones on growth, yield and quality of broccoli in the lower gangetic plains of West Bengal. There was ten treatment combinations i.e. control , three levels of GA3 (30 ppm, 60 ppm and 90 ppm), three levels of NAA (40 ppm, 80 ppm and 120 ppm) and three levels of Ethrel (50 ppm, 100 ppm and 150 ppm) applied as aqueous spray twice at 28 and 45 days after transplanting. Data was taken on nine growth and yield related parameters (i.e. plant height (cm), plant spread (cm), stem diameter (cm), number of leaves, leaf length (cm), leaf area (sqcm), head diameter (cm), fresh head weight (g), total yield (Q/ha) and three biochemical traits (i.e. total sugar content, vitamin C and vitamin A). Maximum value for the characters plant height (66.55 cm), plant spread (85.73cm), head diameter (22.77 cm), fresh head weight (480.43g), total sugar content (5.8g/100g) and total yield (237.25 q/ha) was recorded by the treatment 120 ppm NAA followed by GA3 60 ppm which comes out as the next equally better treatment for yield and quality improvement in broccoli.
