Effect of organic manure and inorganic fertilizers on growth and yield of knol-khol (Brassica oleraceavar.caulorapaL.)

Effect of Fertility Levels and Boron on the Development and Production of Cauliflower

“…The beneficial effects of inorganic fertilizers and vermicompost on growth are achieved through a nutritionally balanced environment that is beneficial to production systems and soil rhizospheres. The results are in close agreement with those of Kumhar et al [3] in the case of cauliflower, Patil [4] in the case of tomatoes, and Mahmood et al [5] in the case of cauliflower with the application of 2.5 kg of boron per hectare, the growth parameters of the cauliflower plant-including plant height, the number of leaves per plant and the area of each leaf significantly improved but were still similar to those of 2.0 kg of boron per hectare. These results clearly showed that boron contributed significantly to the enhancement of cauliflower growth.…”
