“…Nitrogen fertilization has an important role in increasing the yield and growth parameters of cauliflower, as in other Cruciferous vegetable species. Similar to our findings, earlier studies have also reported that nitrogen fertilization significantly increased the plant growth and chlorophyll content in cauliflower [17,[30][31][32] since nitrogen plays important roles in the meristematic development, chlorophyll formation, and photosynthesis [30]. On the other hand, increasing N doses lowered the vitamin C content of cauliflower heads.…”

Intercropping systems are one of the sustainable agricultural models as they play an important role in protecting soil fertility, efficient use of resources, maintaining stable yields, and reducing the effectiveness of diseases and pests. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of intercropping (IC) cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L. var. botrytis) with leaf lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. var. crispa) on the yield and quality parameters of cauliflower and to evaluate the overall productivity of the system under different nitrogen fertilization rates (160, 200, and 240 kg N ha−1). Our results showed that the leaf chlorophyll value (SPAD), plant weight, leaf weight, head diameter, head height, head weight, and total yield of cauliflower were found to increase as the nitrogen dose increased in both the monocropping (MC) and IC systems. The most efficient nitrogen fertilizer doses for cauliflower were 234.7 kg ha−1 for MC and 176.6 kg ha−1 for IC, respectively. When the intercropping system was used the total yield (cauliflower and lettuce) was higher than the yield of cauliflower (MC) for the same total area and fertilizer amount. The land equivalent ratio (LER) values were greater than 1 in the intercropping system at all fertilization rates, which indicated that the IC system was more productive than the MC system for the same unit of land. Our findings also showed that intercropping was an effective method to increase fertilizer use efficiency and the soil organic matter, nitrogen content, plant available P, K, Mg, Zn, Fe, Mn, and Cu. In conclusion, while intercropping cauliflower with lettuce did not adversely affect the yield of cauliflower, it enabled harvesting more plants (cauliflower and lettuce) from the same land area by using the same amount of fertilizer, which makes intercropping a sustainable, economical, and ecological model that increases the land-use and fertilizer-use efficiencies.

“…Results in this research clear that increasing nitrogen micro carbon increased al aforementioned parameters this may be due to increase photosynthetic pigments (Ali et al, 2019) protein and nucleic acids then increase physiological processes and metabolism this lead to increase leaves area and large vegetative growth (as shown in Table 2) that improve carbohydrate synthesis to accumulate extra dry matter in curds (reproductive tissues) this reflect to curds growth and yield (Laghari et al, 2016) and improve curds quality. These results are conformity with those obtained by Hussain et al (2012), Metwaly (2016) on broccoli, Abdrabbo et al (2019) on sweet fennel and Ali et al (2019).…”

Appropriate nutrition in early autumn season under high temperature conditions has a major effect on cauliflower yield and quality. Thus two field experiments were conducted during autumn 2018 and 2019 seasons at a private farm in Demiana village, Belqas district, Dakahlia governorate to investigate the influence of foliar application with nitrogen micro carbon (NMC) at 0, 300, 600 and 900 ppm) and boron (B) at 0, 10 and 20 ppm and their interaction on vegetative growth characters, leaves chemical contents, curds yield and quality. This study contains 12 treatments with three replicates arranged in split plots in a complete randomized block design. Nitrogen micro carbon was assigned in the main plots, whereas the boron was randomly located in sub plots. Obtained results cleared that interaction impact between NMC and B significantly affected on vegetative growth (plant height, foliage fresh weight, No. of leaves, leaves fresh weight, leaves area and leaves dry matter), chemical contents of leaves (N, P, K, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoids), curds yield and physical characters (curd weight, diameter compactness rate, yield and hollow stem) and curds quality (dry matter, Vit. C, acidity and TSS). In this concern, combination between nitrogen micro carbon at 600 ppm and Boron at 20 ppm gave the highest values of previous parameters except hollow stem percentage where between NMC at 0 ppm and B at 20 ppm gave the lowest percentage of hollow stem.

Foliar Micro-nutrition is the application of micronutrients to plants by spraying directly onto their leaves. Although it is not economical to spray macronutrients and micronutrients through foliar spraying, researchers prefer soil application for macronutrients and foliar applications of micronutrients. Several researches have demonstrated that the method which is used to deliver the required micronutrient in appropriate concentration to improve nutrient status along with increased yield and quality potential are adapted by combining applications of FeSO4 at a dose of 0.2%, Calcium nitrate at 0.2%, Boron at 0.1% and ZnSO4 at 0.2% has revealed a 51% increase as compared to control in potato. Application of ZnSO4 (0.4%) and ZnSO4 (0.6%) provides significant impact on growth and yield characteristic of Chilli; Zinc Sulfate (0.5%) and Borax (0.5%) also shows better result on the number of fruits per plant, fruit length, fruit diameter and yield per plant in Eggplant. Applying ZnSO4 (0.5%) shows better results on plant height, weight of head and yield of head in cabbage cultivations. Combined application of Boron (100 ppm) + Molybdenum (50 ppm) along with 60 kg/fed of Nitrogen. The results showed increased 38.02% on curd yield of cauliflower over control. A study reveals that application of (0.5%) Zn+ (0.1%) B along with 75 kg/ha of potassium in combination showed 31.73% increases yield of watermelon. Application of boron at 0.25% and zinc 0.5% showed a 31.17% increase in the total onion yield. The combined application of MgSO4 (0.5%), MnSO4 (0.5%), FeSO4 (0.5%) and ZnSO4 (0.5%) has increased yield of okra 31.8% over control. In general this critical review lays an emphasis from the review point of that micronutrients have been found to show satisfactory results than control conditions and has an immense potential in vegetable production to increase yield attributes.
