Broccoli is recently introduced to India during 1990 from USA.
5/26/2021 Dept. of VSC 5
Broccoli is an Italian word dervied from Latin word Brachium – arm or branch
or Brocco- Young Shoot
In Italy, used as vegetable from early times
In USA large part of the produce goes to freezing industry
Edible part comprises unopened green flower bud clusters along with
part of fleshy stem
All the species of Brassica contains glucosinolates (goitrogenic
substance)
It is mostly cultivated in hilly regions of Himachal Pradesh, Jammu
Kashmir , Uttar Pradesh and Nilgiri hills.
MEDICINAL VALUE OF BROCCOLI
 Broccoli contains multiple nutrients with potent anti-cancer properties, such as
Di-indolyl methane and small amounts of Selenium.
 The 3, 3-di-indolylmethane found in broccoli is a potent modulator of the innate
immune response system with- Anti-viral, Anti-bacterial, and Anticancer activity
 “Glucoraphanin” which can be processed into an anti-cancer compound
“Sulforaphane”
 Excellent source of “Indole-3-carbinol”, a chemical which boosts DNA repair in
cells and appears to block the growth of cancer cells.
 Sulforaphane induces the production of certain enzymes that can deactivate free-
radicals and carcinogens.

Dept. of VSC
The real potent nutritional value of broccoli lies in substances called “Isothiocyanates”.
They are a class of very potent anti-carcinogens. Meaning, they fight and help prevent
cancer. Tests have shown that broccoli’s anti-cancer compounds greatly protected mice from
stomach cancer( Abdullah and Koyama, 2009).
Mukherji and Mishra, 2012
 Broccoli sprouts have been developed under the trade name
“Brocco Sprouts” that have a consistent level of sulforaphane –
as much as 20 times higher than the levels found in mature
heads of broccoli (Jackson and Singletary, 2008).
 Sulforaphane, boosts the production of an enzyme known to
neutralize carcinogens before they trigger tumor growth.
5/26/2021 Dept. of VSC 7
Broccoli is good. Broccoli Sprouts are even better. At a mere 3 days old, they
contain at least 20 times as much of disease- fighting Sulforaphane
Glucosinolate (SGS) as their elders.
It has been studied that just 3 servings a month of raw broccoli can reduce
the risk of bladder cancer by as much as 40 %( Liu2009).

BOTANY
 Sprouting broccoli plant grows erect about 60 cm high
with large flower heads, which are arranged in a tree-
like structure on branching sprout from a thick edible
stalk
 Plant Habit: Herbaceous, Biennial
 Stem: Short and succulent
 Leaves: Glabrous, Glacous and succulent, alternate,
rosette of leaves in early developmental stage, large
with wavy margin.
 Root System: Shallow root
 Flower stalks are longer than cauliflower
 The Sprouts in the axils of leaves develop strongly,
specially after the removal of the terminal head
 Flowering is hastened by exposure to low temperatures
 Both terminal head and the sprouts with bud clusters are
consumed as human food.
FLOWERS
 Complete (Actinomorphic and bisexual)
 Entamophyllus (Honey bees)
Highly cross-pollinated crop due to sporophytic self-incompatibility, which is
determined by up to 10 alleles at S locus
5/26/2021 Dept. of VSC 14
 Androecium is tetradynamous i.e., there are
two short and four long stamens
 Flowers are borne in racemes on main stem
and on its branches.
 Calyxes are gamosepalous with four sepals
and the corolla gamopetalous with four petals
and cruciform
Anthesis takes place early in the morning
between 7:30 and 8:00 a.m. and remains
continued up to 11:30 a.m. depending upon
prevailing weather conditions.
Pollen fertility is maximum on the day of
anthesis.
Stigma is receptive 2–3 days before the day of
anthesis due to protogyny condition of the
flowers and remains receptive even up to 4 days
after anthesis
 The glycoproteins present in the stigma hinder the pollen
germination and penetration of pollen tubes through the styler
tissue.
 Cytoplasmic male sterility (Ogura male sterile radish) system
in which male sterility is manifested due to interaction of
cytoplasm, and nuclear gene is generally utilized in hybrid seed
production of broccoli
5/26/2021 Dept. of VSC 15
Pollen fertility is maximum on the day of anthesis.
Stigma is receptive 2–3 days before the day of anthesis due to
protogyny condition of the flowers and remains receptive even up
to 4 days after anthesis

 The time of sowing depends on variety, growing season and location. In north Indian
plains, the optimum time for sowing seeds in nursery beds is from mid-August to
mid-September.
 In hills where snowfall is rare or mild, seed sowing is carried out during July–
August. In higher hills where snowfall is severe, nursery sowing is done in March–
April.
 Mid-September at Bajaura (Kullu valley) and second fortnight of October to the first
week of November at Dhaulakuan (low hills) have been reported to be the best
period for transplanting broccoli in Himachal Pradesh.
 Depending upon the prevailing weather conditions, the
seedlings become ready for transplanting after
4–6 weeks of sowing.

 The seedlings are transplanted on flat or raised beds, preferably during afternoon
hours.
 The yield and size of broccoli heads are affected by plant spacing.
 The yield is more but closer spacing reduces the size of main head, less production
of spears and delays the horticultural maturity. The optimum spacing for planting
broccoli in field is 45 × 45 cm.
 Spacing in the light soils can be reduced to 45 × 30 cm.
 At Indian Agriculture Research Institute (IARI), New Delhi, 50 × 40 cm spacing has
been found best for the variety Pusa Broccoli Kt Sel-I.
 Depending upon the spacing, about 33,000 to 45,000 plants can be adjusted in a
hectare area.

 Being a shallow-rooted crop, broccoli requires light irrigation frequently.
 An even supply of moisture is needed for broccoli seedlings to be
established.
 The crop grown in soil having longer water retention capacity gives
optimum yield.
 Dry spells during vegetative growth and head development stage result in
small-sized heads and reduced yield.
 Depending upon weather conditions and soil types, irrigation may be given
at an interval of 7–10 days to ensure optimum moisture for proper
vegetative growth and head formation
5/26/2021 Dept. of VSC 45
 Weed control: 35-40DAT.
 Hand weeding or 2-3 light hoeing are recommended.
 Application of weedicide is economical
 Alachlore (0.5 lit/ha), pre planting sprays of Basalin @2kg
a.i/ha
 Earthing up: after each topdressing of fertilizers to provide
anchorage to the plant.
 Mulching: Black polythene mulch
 Growth regulators:
 2 sprays of GA3 @5ppm to the seedlings- increase the
yield and quality spears
 Dipping the seedlings in NAA @0.1-0.2 mg/lit solution
increase the yield.
 45-90 days after transplanting depending upon
cultivar and environment.
 Heads are harvested after attaining proper size
but before opening of buds and bud clusters are
compact.
 Once the buds are opened, heads will unfit for
marketing.
 Central head is harvested first, along with 15cm
long fleshy stem.
 In most cases main head alone is harvested and
spears are not harvested.
 When spears are harvested, these are tied
together in the shape of a single head and
marketed.
 Size: 15-25cm head in diameter and 250-600g
 Optimum yield is 5-15 t/ha.
 Early (50-60 q/ha)

Cutworms:
The caterpillars are 3 to 4 cm long, gray or brown to almost black with various markings.
They hide in daytime and feed at night.
They cause damage by biting the foliage and by cutting down the young seedlings just
above the ground level.
Control:
1. Picking and destruction of the larvae at the early stage of the crop.
2. Growing of paired rows of mustard after every 25 rows of the crop.
3. Spraying of the heavily infested crop with Rogoror Endosulfan@ 2 -3 ml/l of water.
Leaf Webber:
The leaves are skeletonised by the larvae, which remain on the under surface of leaves in
webs and feed on them.
They also attack flower buds and pods.
The insect commonly sucks early grown crop.
Control:
1. Picking and destruction of the larvae at the early stage of the crop.
2. The crop should be sprayed with Cyfluthrin@ 0.5ml/1 of water.
5/26/2021 Dept. of VSC 56
Mustard saw fly:
 The larvae of mustard saw fly feed on
leaves and it can be controlled by
spraying Chlorpyriphos or Quinalphos@
0.05%.
Aphids:
 They feed on the plants affecting the quality.
 Mustard can act as a trap crop for aphids.
 Neem seed kernel extract can be sprayed at 4%
or Oxydemeton methyl @ 0.02% can be sprayed
for controlling this insect.
 Broccoli is highly fragile as the respiration rate of freshly harvested heads
or spears is extremely high.
 The shelf life of broccoli heads and spears is significantly affected by
temperature.
 The harvested heads or spears are required to be hydro-cooled.
 At room temperature, the harvested produce can be kept for 2–3 days only,
but at 0ºC temperature and 95% relative humidity, it remains good for 10–
15 days.
 Packaging in low-density polyethylene (LDPE) bags or films helps in
keeping the broccoli heads more fresh and green under low temperature
conditions.
 It should never be stored along with climacteric fruits, which can cause
yellowing of green buds due to the production of large quantity of ethylene.
 Broccoli heads or spears are tied in bunches of about 250–500 g and
packed in waxed boxes or plastic crates.
 Deterioration occurs quickly in non-wrapped heads due to yellowing,
weight loss, stem hardening and chlorophyll degradation.

Production technology of broccoli

  • 1. WILD MUSTARD PLANT (Brassica oleraceae)
  • 2.
  • 3. Department of Vegetable science COLLEGE OF HORTICULTURE, BAGALKOTE 26-May-21 3 Dept. of VSC Couse title: Advances in cole crops VSC609 (1+1) Topic: Advances Broocli Presented To Dr. Raveendra Jawadagi Professor & HOD Department of vegetable science COH, Bagalkot Presented By Sanmathi Naik A T S 1st Ph. D (Hort.) Department of vegetable science COH, Bagalkot
  • 4. INTRODUCTION  Common name: Sprouting broccoli  Scientific name: Brassica oleraceae var. italica  Family: Brassicaceae  Chromosome number: 2n=2x=18  Origin: Meditaranian region  Proginator: B. oleraceae var. sylvestris 5/26/2021 4 Dept. of VSC Broccoli is recently introduced to India during 1990 from USA.
  • 5. 5/26/2021 Dept. of VSC 5 Broccoli is an Italian word dervied from Latin word Brachium – arm or branch or Brocco- Young Shoot In Italy, used as vegetable from early times In USA large part of the produce goes to freezing industry Edible part comprises unopened green flower bud clusters along with part of fleshy stem All the species of Brassica contains glucosinolates (goitrogenic substance) It is mostly cultivated in hilly regions of Himachal Pradesh, Jammu Kashmir , Uttar Pradesh and Nilgiri hills.
  • 6. MEDICINAL VALUE OF BROCCOLI  Broccoli contains multiple nutrients with potent anti-cancer properties, such as Di-indolyl methane and small amounts of Selenium.  The 3, 3-di-indolylmethane found in broccoli is a potent modulator of the innate immune response system with- Anti-viral, Anti-bacterial, and Anticancer activity  “Glucoraphanin” which can be processed into an anti-cancer compound “Sulforaphane”  Excellent source of “Indole-3-carbinol”, a chemical which boosts DNA repair in cells and appears to block the growth of cancer cells.  Sulforaphane induces the production of certain enzymes that can deactivate free- radicals and carcinogens. 5/26/2021 6 Dept. of VSC The real potent nutritional value of broccoli lies in substances called “Isothiocyanates”. They are a class of very potent anti-carcinogens. Meaning, they fight and help prevent cancer. Tests have shown that broccoli’s anti-cancer compounds greatly protected mice from stomach cancer( Abdullah and Koyama, 2009). Mukherji and Mishra, 2012
  • 7.  Broccoli sprouts have been developed under the trade name “Brocco Sprouts” that have a consistent level of sulforaphane – as much as 20 times higher than the levels found in mature heads of broccoli (Jackson and Singletary, 2008).  Sulforaphane, boosts the production of an enzyme known to neutralize carcinogens before they trigger tumor growth. 5/26/2021 Dept. of VSC 7 Broccoli is good. Broccoli Sprouts are even better. At a mere 3 days old, they contain at least 20 times as much of disease- fighting Sulforaphane Glucosinolate (SGS) as their elders. It has been studied that just 3 servings a month of raw broccoli can reduce the risk of bladder cancer by as much as 40 %( Liu2009). Mukherji and Mishra, 2012
  • 8. NUTRITIONAL VALUE OF BROCCOLI TABLE 1: PROXIMATE NUTRITIONAL VALUE (/100gm) OF BROCCOLI Mukherji and Mishra, 2012 5/26/2021 8 Dept. of VSC
  • 9. TABLE 2: PROXIMATE VITAMINS (/100gm) IN BROCCOLI 5/26/2021 9 Dept. of VSC Mukherji and Mishra, 2012
  • 10. TABLE 3: PROXIMATE MINERALS (/100 gm) IN BROCCOLI 5/26/2021 10 Dept. of VSC TABLE 4: ELECTROLYTES AND PHYTONUTRIENTS IN BROCCOLI Mukherji and Mishra, 2012
  • 12. BOTANY  Sprouting broccoli plant grows erect about 60 cm high with large flower heads, which are arranged in a tree- like structure on branching sprout from a thick edible stalk  Plant Habit: Herbaceous, Biennial  Stem: Short and succulent  Leaves: Glabrous, Glacous and succulent, alternate, rosette of leaves in early developmental stage, large with wavy margin.  Root System: Shallow root  Flower stalks are longer than cauliflower  The Sprouts in the axils of leaves develop strongly, specially after the removal of the terminal head  Flowering is hastened by exposure to low temperatures  Both terminal head and the sprouts with bud clusters are consumed as human food.
  • 13. FLOWERS  Complete (Actinomorphic and bisexual)  Entamophyllus (Honey bees) Highly cross-pollinated crop due to sporophytic self-incompatibility, which is determined by up to 10 alleles at S locus
  • 14. 5/26/2021 Dept. of VSC 14  Androecium is tetradynamous i.e., there are two short and four long stamens  Flowers are borne in racemes on main stem and on its branches.  Calyxes are gamosepalous with four sepals and the corolla gamopetalous with four petals and cruciform Anthesis takes place early in the morning between 7:30 and 8:00 a.m. and remains continued up to 11:30 a.m. depending upon prevailing weather conditions. Pollen fertility is maximum on the day of anthesis. Stigma is receptive 2–3 days before the day of anthesis due to protogyny condition of the flowers and remains receptive even up to 4 days after anthesis
  • 15.  The glycoproteins present in the stigma hinder the pollen germination and penetration of pollen tubes through the styler tissue.  Cytoplasmic male sterility (Ogura male sterile radish) system in which male sterility is manifested due to interaction of cytoplasm, and nuclear gene is generally utilized in hybrid seed production of broccoli 5/26/2021 Dept. of VSC 15 Pollen fertility is maximum on the day of anthesis. Stigma is receptive 2–3 days before the day of anthesis due to protogyny condition of the flowers and remains receptive even up to 4 days after anthesis
  • 16. 5/26/2021 Dept. of VSC 16 Seed  Fruit is glabrous siliqua  Pods are linear, cylindrical, or conical, which dehisce longitudinally  There are between 10-30 seeds per siliqua  1g= 325 seeds
  • 17. 5/26/2021 17 Dept. of VSC Types of broccoli
  • 19.  Brocooli is a cool season crop.  Seed germination takes place at 12-16oC and optimum temperature for growth is 16-20oC.  Hot weather results in development of small and thin leaves in the head.  Generally, the plants of broccoli are hardy, can withstand fairly heavy frosts. 5/26/2021 19 Dept. of VSC
