FIELD PERFORMANCE OF TWENTY-SIX GENOTYPES OF CAULIFLOWER UNDER PUNJAB CONDITION

SUMMARY

The present investigation was done in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 3 replications where twenty-six genotypes of cauliflower were tested to check their performance for all the quantitative traits in an open field at Lovely Professional University, Phagwara, Punjab in 2017. ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) displayed a highly significant difference for all the quantitative characters in the twenty-six cultivars. Among the cultivars, Snow White was highest in plant height (52.99 cm), leaf length (36.77 cm), curd weight (1092.22 g), curd circumference (63.72 cm) and yield (200.35t/ha) followed by Sweta-44 for leaf width (21.27 cm), curd weight (930 g), curd circumference (60.27 cm)and yield  (180.56 t/ha) but low in stalk length (11.66 cm) and Snowball-16 for curd weight (800 g), curd circumference (58.16 cm), stalk length (16.66 cm) and yield (170.44 t/ha) while Sonakshi showed the best result for leaves per plant (22.88) and IG-25 for stalk length (17.11 cm). Therefore, Snow White, Sweta-44 and Snowball-16 were recommended for further improvement and popularization in Punjab condition especially for the farmers.
