The present investigation was carried out during rabi season-2015-16 at Horticulture Instructional Farm, CP College of Agriculture, SD Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar, Gujarat to find out the effect of different plant spacing on performance of different varieties with respect to growth of broccoli (Brassica oleracea var.italica. L). Three different plant spacing viz., D1: 1st December, D2: 15th December and D3: 30th December.Four varieties viz., V1: Palam Samridhi,V2: Palam Vichitra,V3: Pusa Broccoli KTS-1 and V4: Palam Haritika. was analyzed statistically on growth, growth attributes parameters of broccoli and are summarized below. The results revealed that the treatment attained significantly maximum plant height at 45 DAT (32.90 cm) and at the stage of head harvest (64.23 cm) was found with treatment d2 (15th December).while significantly maximum number of leaves per plant at 45 DAT (10.62) and at the stage of head harvest (22.11) was observed with treatment v2 (Palam Vichitra) and significantly maximum plant spread (E-W and N-S) with (37.47 cm and 39.04 cm, respectively) was observed with treatment d2 (15th December).The significantly maximum plant spread (E-W and N-S) with (65.75 cm and 66.63 cm, respectively) was observed with treatment v2 (Palam Vichitra).
