Abstract: Present investigation was carried out during Rabi, 2015-16 at Horticulture Instructional Farm, CP College of Agriculture, SD Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar, Gujarat with 12 treatments replicated thrice in Split Plot Design. The treatment combinations were three plant spacings viz., S₁: 30 cm × 30 cm, S₂: 45 cm × 30 cm and S₃: 45 cm × 45 cm with four varieties viz., Palam Samridhi (V₁), Palam Vichitra (V₂), Pusa Broccoli KTS-1 (V₃) and Palam Haritika (V₄). Results revealed that S₁V₃ recorded maximum plant height at transplanting (23.92 cm), while S₁V₂ recorded maximum plant height at 45 DAT (43.52 cm) while S₁V₄ recorded maximum at harvest (69.50 cm). Number of leaves at harvest (23.70), plant spread at 45DAT [E-W 55.09 cm N-S 53.27 cm] and at harvest [E-W 65.91 cm N-S 65.67 cm] were recorded maximum with treatment combination S₃V₄. The minimum number of days taken for head initiation and head harvesting were recorded with treatment combination S₁V₁ whereas maximum head diameter with highest yield per plant were observed with S₃V₂.
