A field experiment was conducted at University Research Field,  Patuakhali Science & Technology University, Patuakhali, Bangladesh under the Agro-ecological Zone 13 (Ganges Tidal Floodplain) during the August 2011  to April 2012 to find out the optimum planting time on broccoli production. Ten planting time, viz., (i) August  15, (ii)  August 30, (iii)  September  15,  (iv) September  30,  (v) October  15,  (vi) October  30,  (vii) November  15,  (viii) November  30,  (ix) December  15  and  (x) December  30 were included in the study. All the growth parameters except numbers of leaves per plant were not influenced by planting time. Maximum numbers of leave per plant was recorded in October 15 planting and the minimum in August 15 planting all the treatment were statistically similar in this respects. Yield and yield contributing characters were significantly influenced by the treatments. The maximum yield was recorded in October 15 planting followed by October 30 and November 15. The highest yield (24.17) and the lowest yield (10.8 t/ha) recorded from October 30 and August 15 respectively.
