Cauliflower is an herbaceous annual or biennial vegetable plant grown for its edible head.
Major Cauliflower growing countries in the world are China, India, Spain, Mexico, Italy, France and United States.
India is the second largest producer of cauliflower producing about 7,887,000 tones.
Major Cauliflower growing states in India are West Bengal, Bihar, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Gujarat and Jharkhand.
Edible heads are the most economically important part of Cauliflower
In India, Cauliflower is grown in large areas having a cool and moist climate.
A temperature range of 15-21°C is considered as optimum for growth and curd formation of the crop.
High temperature during maturity will result in yellowish leafy curds.
Cultivation of Cauliflower is done mainly on sandy to heavy soils rich in organic matter.
Early crops prefer light soil while late crops thrive better on heavier soils due to retention of moisture.
A pH range of 5.5-6.5 is considered as optimum for growing Cauliflower.
