Cauliflower is an important winter crop in Nepalese farming community and consumed all over the world. The yield and vitamin C content of cauliflower depends on many factors such as its genotype, cultural practices, environment in which it is growing on and storage after harvesting etc. But among them, the availability, dose and types of fertilizers used play an important role in yield and the amount of vitamin C content in cauliflower. The vitamin C is one of the major Phyto chemicals we obtained from cauliflower and it plays an important role in our physical health. The disease like scurvy is caused due to the lack of ascorbic acid known as vitamin C. It has been proved that consumption of fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C helps in prevention of cancer and heart disease because it act as a source of antioxidant. The number of studies conducted in the past revealed that the fertilizers having higher amount of nitrogen leads to the formation of less vitamin C on the cauliflower and vice versa.
