Field experiments were conducted at Horticultural Research Station, Kandaghat for two years to find out the response of cauliflower variety (Pusa Snowball K-1) to different levels of B (5, 15 and 25 kg borax/ha through soil application) and Mo (1.0,1.5 and 2.0 kg ammonium molybdate/ha through soil application). Maximum plant height, number of branches/plant, number of seeds/pod, seed yield/plant and per hectare basis, 1,000 seed weight and per cent seed germination were obtained when 25 kg borax/ha was applied through soil application. Similarly, highest values for all these characters were obtained at 1.5 kg ammounium molybdate/ha through soil application. It was concluded that a combination of 25 kg borax and 1.5 kg ammonium molybdate/ha through soil application was best for obtaining maximum seed yield per hectare of cauliflower.
