Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A comparative study of ten cauliflower cultivars was done at the Regional Agricultural Research Station of the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Hathazari, Chittagong during the period from September, 1995 to January, 1996. It appeared that the time needed for reaching the optimum harvesting stage varied from 95 days in case of cv. Kartika and Tropical 45 days and II0 days in case of cv. Shiroyama-65 from the date of sowing. Maximum and minimum curd yields were obtained from the cv. Shiroyama-65 and cv. Poushali which were 18.38 and 6.4 tons ha ^-1, respectively.

Objectives:

To identify varieties / lines suitable for the eastern region (Chittagong) of Bangladesh

Methodology:

The study was conducted at the Regional Agricultural Research Station, Hathazari, Chittagong during the period from September, 1995 to January, 1996. The cauliflower cultivars both from local and exotic origin were included in this study. Seeds were sown on 17 October, 1995 providing 60 x 60 cm spacing. The unit plot size was 3.60 x 3.60 m and the experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The crop was fertilized at the rate of cowdung 15 t ha^-1 N, P₂0₅ and K₂ 0 @ 110, 85 and 132 kg ha ^-1, respectively. The entire quantity of cowdung TSP and half of urea and MP were applied during final land preparation. The remaining half of urea and MP were applied in three equal installments as top dressing. Irrigation along with other intercultural operations were done as and when needed. Days required for curd initiation was recorded by visual observation of each plant every day. Data on different morphological and yield parameters were taken from ten randomly selected plants in each plot. The date were analysed statistically and the means were separated by DMRT for interpretation of results.

Achievement/Findings:

The ten different cultivars of cauliflower were varied significantly in respect of all the characters under study . Whole plant weight ranged from 720.00 to 1916. 67 g in the case of Tropical - 45 days and shiroyama- 65 respectively. Among the cultivars, Boiltali and Rakhushi late produced the plants with statistically at par whole plant weights. The height of plants varied from 46.13 to 68.00 cm but statistically similar heights of plants were attained by Rakhushi late and Shiroyama-65.
