Cauliflower Losing Luster? Borax Hack Ensures White Curds & Profit for Farmers!

• Rising temperatures and nutrient deficiency cause cauliflower curds to turn green or brown, reducing market value for farmers.
• District Horticulture Officer Dr. Puneet Kumar Pathak identifies borax deficiency, saline soil, high pH, and intense sunlight as key reasons.
• Farmers should conduct soil testing and ensure cultivation in balanced soil with a pH of 6.5 to 7.5 for optimal growth.
• Applying 20 kg borax per hectare during field preparation is crucial for maintaining white curds and increasing yield.
• Alternatively, a 0.1-0.2% borax solution spray before flowering can prevent discoloration and boost production.

Why It Matters: Borax application and proper soil management are vital for farmers to grow white, high-quality cauliflower and secure better market prices.
