Performance of Early Cauliflower Variety Sabour Agrim vis a vis Different Dates of Transplanting in Arwal District of Bihar

A field experiment was conducted for two consecutive years with a view to assess the response of early cauliflower variety (Sabour Agrim) to different dates of transplanting in kharif. The trial was conducted in randomized block design with four treatments replicated ten times. The treatments were T₁-Farmer's practice, T₂-Transplanting on 1^st July, T₃. Transplanting on 15^th July and T₄-Transplanting on 30^th July. The results revealed that transplanting on 15^th July had a significant effect on growth and yield of cauliflower followed by maximum plant height (67.3 cm.), the best marketable size of curd (430.8g), maximum curd length (13.4), curd greatest diameter of curd (15.6cm.) and the maximum yield (223.5 q/ha.). Cauliflower can be grown better at places which are cool, frost and litter free than other Brassicaceae. It is difficult to grow cauliflower as a spring crop because it tends to bolt during the condition of extreme heat. The height of the plants at different weeks after transplanting was observed to vary significantly among different planting times.
