Cauliflower Shrinks? Expert Tips for Bumper Yields & Perfect Heads!

• Madhya Pradesh farmers face small or absent cauliflower heads despite lush leaves, especially in winter.
• Expert Saty Narayan Singh attributes poor head formation to imbalances in weather, irrigation, and nutrients.
• Optimal temperature (10-25°C) and consistent, light moisture are vital; extremes halt flower development.
• Nutrient deficiencies (boron, calcium, nitrogen) cause cracking; balanced fertilization (100N, 60P, 40K/ha) and 1% boron spray are crucial.
• Correct planting time, specific to region and variety (e.g., Sept-Nov for Gonda), ensures proper flower development.

Why It Matters: Achieve bumper cauliflower yields by balancing weather, irrigation, nutrients, and optimal planting time.
