The higher doses of nitrogen and phosphorus significantly increased the number of outer leaves, curd size, plant height and seed yield. The findings clearly suggested that 250 Kg/ha of phosphorus and 375 Kg/ha of nitrogen is essential for obtaining the highest seed yield in late cauliflower. This increase in yield was mainly due to increase in plant height and curd size. The other important points brought out by the present investigation is the importance of phosphorus for increasing seed yield of late cauliflower.
