Season

Throughout the year

Climate

Temperature is more important than day length. In our region it is grown in milder winter (E & W parts). Most of Europian cvs. under this condition do not form tight heads (loose & open heads) - reason for poor yield in India; long cold period induces 0 0 plant to bolt sooner; optimum temperature or growth & heading 15 - 20 C above 0 25 C growth arrested.

Nursery

Nursery Management - Tips to be followed & monitored :

i) Sow the seeds in Pro trays of 98 cavities by using the sterilised cocopeat as a media, th

 ii) At 5 day after sowing mild spray with Uthane M-45 @ 1g/litre of H O + Ulala 2 0.3 g/litre of H O or Saaf @ 1g/litre of H O + Ulala 0.2 g/litre of H O. 2 2 2 th

iii) At 15 day after sowing spray with Saaf @ 1g/litre of H O + Ulala 0.2 g/litre of 2 H O. 2 st

iv) At 21 day after sowing spray with Uthane M-45 @ 1g/litre of H O + Ulala 0.3 2 g/litre of H O or Saaf @ 1g/litre of H O + Ulala 0.2 g/litre of H O. 2 2 2

 v) Hardening of seedlings is must before transplanting. Seedling will be ready for transplanting in 22-24 days after sowing. Transplanting has to be done preferable in evening hours to avoid sun shock & mortality

Care

At maturity watering should be avoided-cause splitting of heads.
