Four
planting methods, i.e. flat planting, flat planting-earthing up, ridge
planting and raised bed double row planting, were tested to study the
performance of early cauliflower cv. Pant Gobhi-2 grown during rainy
season under Tarai conditions of Pantnagar, Uttar Pradesh, India. The
cauliflower seedling of 40 days age were planted at 60 x 45 cm spacing.
Earthing up operation was done after one month of transplanting (27 July
1995). The results indicated that the mortality of seedling was
significantly lesser in ridge planting compared to flat planting at all
the stages of plant growth. The ridge planting resulted in healthy and
early plant growth compared to other methods and also showed earliness
in curd maturity besides giving higher net curd yield. |
