Broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica. L.) is known for its better taste, flavour and high nutritive and medicinal value. In the world market, about 40 per cent is marketed as fresh and remaining 60 per cent as frozen. Different cultivars of broccoli may differ in the size of plant, size of clusters and buds and firmness of head. The market demand is more for a firm head with small dark green buds. Therefore, the present investigation was conducted at Krishi Vigyan Kendra Fatehgarh Sahib as well as at the farmers’ fields in district Fatehgarh Sahib during Rabi seasons of 2019-20, 2020-21 and 2021-22. An on-farm trial was conducted on three different broccoli genotypes i.e. Palam Samridhi, F1 Tahoe and F1 Fiesta for their performance and also their preference in the markets (mandis). The broccoli hybrid Tahoe yielded the highest (225.6 q/ ha) followed by Fiesta (220.8 q/ha). An average weight of terminal head of Tahoe was the highest i.e. 520.4 g, whereas, Palam Samridhi produced the earliest head under conditions of district Fatehgarh Sahib. As far as broccoli market preference is concerned, immature fully differentiated flower buds heads of Tahoe and Fiesta are preferred in the local market (mandis) of district and adjoining areas like Chandigarh, Ropar, Ludhiana etc. and fetch better prices. Whereas, Palam Samridhi variety developed loose head that deteriorates its quality and market acceptance drastically reduced.
