Abstract: A field experiment was conducted to study the Effect of different micronutrient on plant quality of broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. Italica) CV. Green Magic during rabi season (17 September to 25 January) 2015-16 at Vegetable Research Field, Central Orchard, Department of Horticulture, Allahabad School of Agriculture, Sam Higginbottom Institute of Agriculture Technology & Sciences, Allahabad (U. P.) India. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 10 treatments and each replicated thrice. Results of the experiment showed that there was a significant difference among various treatment combinations. The maximum T.S.S (⁰Brix) value T₅ (B + Mn + Zn) 8.80, followed by T₉ (Zn) with 7.90. The lowest T.S.S (⁰Brix) value was recorded in T₀ (control) 6.45. The maximum vitamin ‘C’ mg/100gm recorded (94.80 mg) in T₅ (B + Mn + Zn) followed by T₆ (Mo + Mn) with 88.73 mg. The lowest vitamin C was found in case of T₀ (control) 79.02 followed by T₂ (Mo) with (82.23 mg). The four micronutrients B, Mo, Mn and Zn were applied @ of (3:0.5:2:2.5 kg/ha) which shows significantly increase in vitamin ‘C’ (94.80 mg/100g), TSS (8.80 ⁰Brix) during research.
