Eight varieties of cauliflower Snowball group were screened their tolerance to boron deficiency under Ranchi soil conditions. All the varieties tested extremes in their susceptibility to boron deficiency. Sel. 5 and Pusa Snowball gave the maximum yields without boron application. Significant response was observed in all the varieties tested, for boron application. Even though all the varieties responded significantly, the maximum response to boron was observed in Pusa Snowball K-l followed by Kt-16.
