EFFECT OF DIFFERENT SPACING AND TRANSPLANTING DATES ON THE GROWTH AND YIELD OF CAULIFLOWER (BRASSICAE OLERACEA VAR. BOTRYTIS L.)

An experiment entitled Effect of different spacing and transplanting dates on growth yield cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis) was carried out at the experimental farm, Faculty Agricultural Sciences, DAV University, Jalandhar during 2019. The treatment combinations comprised three planting viz., 6th November, 23th November 8th December spacings 45×50cm, 50 x cm 60 in a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with replications. transplanted 2nd date i.e. reported significantly maximum (9.03kg) over other planting, while showed for height, number leaves, stem diameter. Whereas, days taken to curd initiation (114.33) maturity (14.66) recorded from 45cm×50cm dates. It can be concluded that wider gave best results leaves per plant, plant diameter, diameter yield. Interaction effect datesresulted significance difference all character under study except height maturity. observed plants sown 23 resulted superior performance most traits studied. Among spacing, desirable were closer × cm. Considering interaction sowing it found respect parameters cauliflower.
