Abstract: The present experiment was carried out at Horticultural Research Station, Mondouri, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Mohanpur, Nadia, West Bengal, to study the seed production potentialities of sprouting broccoli varieties planted at different dates. The experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design, with three replication, during 2016-2017. The treatments composed of three different dates of planting (viz.15th September, 15th October and 15th November) with four numbers of varieties (viz. Palam Samridhi, Green Head, Pusa KTS-1 and Palam Kanchan). In respect to planting dates the findings in the present study revealed that highest seed yield were obtained when the plants were transplanted on 15th September. Amongst the varieties seed yield and seed yield attributing characters were found best from the varieties Palam Samridhi followed byGreen Head, Pusa KTS-1and Palam Kanchan. The highest seed yield of 437.61 kg/hectare was obtained with Palam Samridhiwhen transplanted on 15th September.from the present investigation it may be concluded that the variety Palam Samridhi has been found superior for seed production potentialities in the plains of West Bengal with September planting date.
