Title: Growth, Yield and Quality of Cauliflower (Brassica Ole Race A Var. Botrytis) As Influenced By Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Boron
Abstract: An experiment to study the effect of nitrogen, phosphorus and boron on growth, yield and quality of cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis) variety Snowball-16, on loamy-sand soils was carried out. It was observed that increased application of nitrogen gave positive response in increasing the number of leaves, height of plants, yield, protein and ascorbic acid contents. Higher doses of nitrogen (N 120 and N 180 kg/ha) being at par with each other significantly increased the yield over N 60 kg and control. P 40 and P 60 kg/ha being similar in action with each other increased the yield in comparison with P0. Further it was noted that increased application of borax dose (20 kg/ha) proved to be toxic and decreased the yield. The application of borax @ 15 kg/ha being at par with 10 kg of borax/ha increased the yield. Amongst various interactions, the application of 120 kg N, 40 kg P2O2 and 15 kg borax per hectare gave the maximum yield of 163 q/ha in comparison with all other treatments.
