The aim of study was to evaluate the effect of dissimilar boron and magnesium levels on growth of cauliflower. Plants were checked for Plant height (cm), Number of leaves plant per plant, day’s number taken from transplanting to curd formation, day’s number taken from curd initiation to maturity, fresh weight of foliage (gm), Foliage dry weight (gm), Curd weight (gm), Curd area (cm2), Chlorophyll contents (nm), Leaf area (cm2), Yield ha-1. The RCBD experiment was employed out in triplicate treatments. Experimental treatment included T0 = Control, T1 = Boron 10 kg ha-1 , T2 = Boron 15 kg ha-1 , T3 = Boron 25 kg ha-1 , T4 = Magnesium 10 kg ha-1 , T5 = Magnesium 15 kg ha-1 , T6 = Magnesium 25 kg ha-1 , T6 = Magnesium 25 kg ha-1,T7 = Boron 10 kg ha-1 + Magnesium 10 kg ha-1,T8 = Boron 15 kg ha-1 + Magnesium 15 kg ha-1 ,T9 = Boron 25 kg ha-1 + Magnesium 25 kg ha-1 . Different treatments showed effect for different parameters on production of plants. Results showed that T9, T8 and T7 has enormous effect on plat height, number of leaves per plant, number of days to curd initiation to maturity Foliage fresh weight (FFW), Foliage dry weight (FDW), curd weight, curd area, chlorophyll contents, leaf area and yield and T2 , T4 andT6 showed the minimum days for formation of curd as compared to control and other treatments. Thus outcome indicated that cauliflower needs nutrients combination for better growth and development in field.
