ABSTRACT
Field experiment was conducted during rabi season 2016-17 at College of Horticulture, Mandsaur to study the effect of two different varieties (Pusa Sharad and Pusa Paushja) and six nutrient levels (N1-80:60:60 kg/ha, N2-80:80:60 kg NPK/ha, N3-100:60:60 kg NPK/ha, N4-100:80:60 kg NPK/ha, N5-120:80:60 kg NPK/ha and N6-120:100:60 kg NPK/ha) on growth, yield, quality and nutrient uptake in cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis L.). Among the varieties, Pusa Paushja recorded maximum leaf length (51.32 cm), dry weight of plant (147.58 g), total curd yield (355.98 q/ha), T.S.S. (5.79o Brix)), Ascorbic acid (44.83 mg/100 g) and nutrient uptake. Nutrient level N7 also exhibited the higher value for growth, yield, quality parameters & nutrient uptake in cauliflower.
Key words :
Cauliflower varieties, Nutrient levels, Soil and plant analysis, Yield & quality attributes.
