Abstract: Broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. Italica Plenck) is a cole crop under Brassicaceae family and is originated from eastern Mediterranean region. Field experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2017-18 at the Potato & Temperate Fruit Research Station, Mainpat, Surguja on planting dates and genotypes of broccoli. The experiment was replicated thrice in split plot design during 2017-18. It comprised 6 dates of transplanting i.e. 1st October, 16th October, 1st November, 16th November, 1st December and 16th December in main plot. There were 4 sub plot treatment i.e. genotypes (Palam Haritika, Palam Samridhi, KTS-1 and Aishwarya). Present investigation revealed that transplanting on 16th of October and genotype Palam Samridhi recorded superior result as compared to other transplanting dates and varieties. Maximum results were found in plant height (54 cm), stalk length (13 cm) and head yield (14.438 ton/ha) on 16th of October whereas Genotype Palam Samridhi gives maximum plant height (55.33 cm), Stalk length (13.5 cm) and head yield (14.918 ton/ha). Interaction effect of date of transplanting and genotype was found non significant but numerically the interaction effect of D2V2 (16th of October and genotype Palam Samridhi) was best among the all treatment combination.
