Title : Effects of Different Levels of Boron on Cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis) Curd Production on Acid Soil of Malepatan, Pokhara Material Type: printed text Authors: Adhikary, Bishnu H., Author ; Ghale, M.S., Author ; Chiranjibi Adhikary, Author ; Surya P. Dahal, Author ; Durga R. Ranabhat, Author Publication Date: 2004 Article on page: 65-67 p Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Boron, Brassica oleracea var. botrytis, curd production Abstract: Experiments were conducted in two consecutive years (2000 and 2001) at Agricultural Research
Station, Malepatan to evaluate the effects of boron levels on cauliflower curd production. A
randomized complete block design with three replications was employed. Six levels of boron (0 kg, 5
kg, 10 kg, 15 kg, 20 kg and 25 kg borax ha-1) were tested. Fertilizers and manures were applied at
the rate of 120:60:40 kg N:P2O5:K2O and 10 tons of compost per hectare in all the plots. The
variety used in the experiment was Kibogiant. The growth (plant height, leaf numbers, leaf length
and fresh biomass production) was affected by the boron levels. The maximum plant height (42.05 cm)
was observed when the crop was supplied with 25 kg borax ha-1 which was almost
13.95 percent higher than that of non-treated control crop. Maximum leaf numbers (12.73 plant-1)
and leaf length (38.91 cm) were observed when the crop was fertilized with 10 kg borax ha-1. The
maximum biomass production (1.06 kg plant-1) was obtained with the crop treated with 25 kg
borax ha-1. The curd size (diameter) was increased with increasing levels of borax upto 15 kg ha-1.
The maximum curd diameter (10.28 cm) was produced when the crop was treated with 25 kg borax ha-1.
Highly significant effect of boron levels were observed on the curd production. The two years mean
showed an increasing curd production trend with increasing levels of borax application. The
maximum curd weight (10.9 t ha-1) was observed when the crop was supplied with 25 kg borax ha-1.
However, nonsignificant differences on curd production were observed between 15 kg, 20 kg and 25 kg
borax application per hectare.Contents note: Boron, Brassica oleracea var. botrytis, curd production Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=81

Title : Response of Cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. Botrytis) to the Application of Boron and Phosphorous in the Soils of Rupandehi District Material Type: printed text Authors: Dhruba Dhakal, Author ; Shree C. Shah, Author ; Gautam, D.M., Author Publication Date: 2009 Article on page: 52-62 p Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Borax, Brassica oleracea var. botrytis, curd yield, phosphorus Abstract: A field experiment was conducted at Paklihawa Campus of the Institute of
Agriculture and Animal Science, Rupandehi, Nepal, during Oct 2004 to Feb
2005 to study the effects of boron and phosphorus on the soil nutrient status,
nutrient uptake by plant and yield of cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var.
botrytis L.) variety Snowball-16. Sixteen treatment combinations, including
four levels of boron (0, 0.65, 1.3, 1.95 kg boron ha-1) and four levels of
phosphorus (0, 30, 60, 90kg P2O5 ha-1) were included. The soil was loamy
with very low in boron. Curd yield, harvest index, boron and phosphorus
uptake by plant and available boron in soil were significantly increased by
the application of boron and phosphorus in soils. Available phosphorus in
soils after the crop harvest was significantly increased by phosphorus
application. The highest curd yield, boron and phosphorus uptake by plant as
well as available boron and phosphorus in soils after the crop harvest were
obtained from the application of 1.3 kg boron with 60 kg P2O5 ha-1. The
boron uptake by plant was decreased by the application of more than 1.3kg
boron ha-1 while the phosphorus uptake was increased with increased
application of phosphorus upto 90 kg P2O5 ha-1. There were quadratic
responses of curd yield, harvest index and plant boron uptake to the applied
boron; quadratic response of plant phosphorus uptake to the applied
phosphorus, while responses of curd yield, and harvest index to the applied
phosphorus were linear. Highly significant positive correlations between
curd yield and leaf boron content (r = 0.68**) as well as curd yield and plant
phosphorus content (r = 0.79**) were observed. In conclusion, the combined
application of 1.3 kg boron and 60 kg P2O5 ha-1 was found to be the best for
cauliflower production under Paklihawa soil conditions of Rupandehi district
and can be recommended to the growers of this region.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=8

Title : Effect on Seed Yield of 'Katumandu Local' Cauliflower by Crop Spacing Mid-Hill of Dailekh Material Type: printed text Authors: Poon, T.B., Author ; G. B. Poon, Author ; O.B. Woli, Author Pagination: 338-342 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Brassica oleracea var, bolting, botrytis L, inflorescence, isolation, off-types Abstract: This study was carried out at Agriculture Research Station. Dailkekh for two consecutive
fiscal years of 2001102 to 2002103. The main objective of the study was to find out tire
appropriate level of crop spacing for seed crop of 'Kathmandu Local' cauliflower. Treatment
consisted of six levels of spacing (45 x 45, 45 x 60, 60 x 60, 60 x 75, 75 x 75 and 90 x 90
em). They were tested in randomized complete block design and replicated four times. Seeds
were sow11 i11 the 3'd week of August and seedlings were transplanted in the last week of
September. St:r: levels of crop spacing significalllly affected the seed yield/ha and seed
yield/plant. The fist level collfributed to the highest seed yield (1827.02 kg/ha)followed by tire
second level of crop spacing ( 1595.885 kg/ha) and the fowth level of crop spacing ( 1299.643
kg/ha) whereas the lowest seed yield (867.90 kg/ha) was in tire sixth level of crop spacing.
Even so, the widest/eve/ of crop spacing colllribwed tire highest seed yield (0.073 kg/plant)
while the lowest seed yield (0.036 kg/plallf) was observed in the first level of crop spacing. On
the score of total seed yield/ unit area, the growers be suggested to adopt the first level and
second level of spacing for maximum seed production of mid season cauliflower such as
'Kathmandu Local' cauliflower.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=556 Effect on Seed Yield of 'Katumandu Local' Cauliflower by Crop Spacing Mid-Hill of Dailekh [printed text] / Poon, T.B., Author ; G. B. Poon, Author ; O.B. Woli, Author . - [s.d.] . - 338-342 p.
