Abstract: |
Asadh to mid Mangsir are the off-season months for cauliflower. It is, hence, production and marketing of quality cauliflower curd during these months are becoming very attractive among thejam1ers due to high income and high profit received from off-season cauliflower. However, cultivars capable of producing high quality curd and high yield at mid to high It ills during these periods are lacking. In view of addressing these problems, experiment was conducted at Horticulture Research Division, Khumaltar (1360 mas/). There were 14 cultivars, the seedlings of which were transplanted on 5 Shravan and 5 Bhadra. The experiment was laid out in RCBD and there were two replications in each treatment. The result indicated that cultivars White Flash, Snow King m!d Silver Cup 60 were extra early and matured in 40-50 days. The mid maturing cultivars were Milk Way and Rami, which matured from 60-75 days of transplanting. Jyapu Local, Snow Crown and Snow Mystic were matured from 95-120 days from transplanting at the first planting date (Shrawatl of the 2058 and 2059). Similarly, at second planting date, the result indicated that the cultivars Tropical 45, Snow King and Silver Cup 60 were extra early cultivars, which matured from 30-50 days from transplanting. The mid maturing cultivars were Milk Way, White Flash, White Contessa and Rami matured from 60-75 days after planting. The late maturating cultivars is Jyapu Local, Snow Mastique and Snow Crown matured from 85-120 days after planting. The result further revealed that late maturing cultivar produced higher yields than those of early maturing cultivars. The result indicated that a combination of different cauliflower cultivars could be recommended for wider cultivation to harvest curd in these months. |
