Abstract
A field experiment was conducted at Horticultural farm, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, Dhaka-1207 during October 2016 to February 2017 with micronutrient zinc (Zn). Zn was applied to investigate the growth, curd size and yield contributing characters of cauliflower cultivar, ‘F1 hybrid’. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. There were three concentrations of Zn0: Control, Zn1: 1.5 kg zinc ha-1, Zn2: 2 kg zinc ha-1, Zn3: 2.5 kg zinc ha-1. Application of Zn3 showed maximum (42.13 cm) plant height at harvest while minimum (37.03 cm) was recorded from control treatment. Number of leaves per plant (19.23), length of the largest leaf (42.15 cm), breadth of the largest leaf (12.97 cm) at harvest, curd diameter at harvest (14.5 cm) was highest in Zn3 treatment whereas, lowest (17.24, 40.26 cm, 11.19 cm and 13.6 cm respectively) was recorded from control treatment.
Key Words: Zinc, Cauliflower, Growth, Curd and Yield characteristics
