● Cauliflower is sensitive for excess of acidity of soil.
● Cauliflower requires more boron (Bo) and molybdenum (Mo).
● Cabbage requires more plant nutrients (i.e. heavy feeder) particularly the N and K nutrients in excess amount.
● The seed rate of Knolknol (Ganthgobhi) in nursery is maintained about 1250 g for one hectare transplanting.
