Cauliflower / Nursery sowing / Transplanting /
  • Nursery sowing of late varieties of cauliflower such as Maghi, Snoking, Pusa snoking-1, Pusa-2, Pusa snowball-16 and Pusa snowball K-1 is advised.
  • Transplanting of mid duration varieties of cauliflower such as Aghani, Pusi, Patna men, Pusa synthetic-1, Pusa shubhra, Pusa sarad, Pusa medhna, Kaasi kuwari, and early snowball is advised. During land preparation, application of borax @10-15kg/hectare and sodium molibdate or ammonium molibdate@1 kg/hectare is advised in boron and molybdenum deficient land, respectively.
  • Monitoring of leaf eating caterpillaris advised in early sown cauliflower. If infestation occurs, spraying of Spinosad 1ml/4litres of water is advised to protect the crop.
