EFFECT OF DIFFERENT TRANSPLATING DATES ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF DIFFERENT CAULIFLOWER VARIETIES.

A field experiment was conducted with an objective to study the performance of different cauliflower varieties at different dates of transplanting at Horticultural Research Station, Aswaraopet, Khammam Dist of Telangana State. All the parameters were influenced by cultivars and transplanting dates. Maximum yields were obtained in all the cultivars by transplanting in the month of October. Highest curd weight and highest marketable yield were recorded in NS 60 N which is on par with SC 60 and Basant. Among interactions NS 60 N transplanted during October recorded highest marketable yield (12.07 t/ha) which was on par with SC 60 transplanted during October (12.04 t/ha) and Basant transplanted during October (11.01 t/ha).
