Agronomy

Flexible Agronomy	Suitability of the variety for the Area Agro Climatic Zone All India, The products depends on the segment like tropical, sub-tropical and temperate. Selection of the field/land preparation practices Select medium to sandy soils for cauliflower. It should have excellent drainage history. Soils with good nutrients helps cauliflower cultivation. Land should be levelled and low weed flora history. Seed Treatment-rate of timing/ chemical Seeds are treated with Carbendazim 2g + Thiram 2 g per Kg of seeds. Sowing Time Summer, Rabi, Kharif as per product segment. Summer :Tropical - March to May Kharif :Tropical / Sub-tropical - Mar to June & July to Aug Rabi : Temperate - Sept to Mid Dec Seed Rate/ Sowing method- line sowing with row to row and plant to plant distance/ direct sowing Seed Rate: 100 - 120 g per acre. Sowing: Sow the seed on nursery. After 21 days, seedling gets ready for transplant. Spacing: Tropical - 60 x 30 cm, Sub-tropical - 60 x 45 cm, Temperate - 60 x 45 cm Fertilizer dose with timing It needs balanced and adequate fertilizer supply. Put FYM - 5 ml + 50 kg SSP + 50 kg mop as basal dose. - Apply 50 kg urea just before ridge making. - 10 days after transplant apply 100 kg urea. - 20 days after transplant apply 50 kg DAP + 50 kg 10:26:26 + 800gm Boron. - 30 days after transplant apply 75 kg 10:26:26 + 25 kg urea Weed Control- Chemicals with doses and timing Timely weed removal is very important, need based hand weeding can be done to ensure healthy crop.
