Season and Climate:
It grows best in cool moist climate and is very hardy
to frost. In areas with comparatively dry
atmospheres, its leaves tend to be more distinctly
petiole than in the more humid areas. In hot dry
atmosphere, its quality becomes poor and much of
its delicate flavor is lost. Its growth is best at a
temperature of about 15 °C to 20 °c. Temperatures
below this and above this are not suited for it.

Soil and its Preparation:
It can be grown almost in all types of soil ranging
from sand to heavy soils. But small quick growing
cabbage varieties do well in sandy soils, while late
maturing varieties in heavy soils. Soils intended
for cabbage growing, should have good drainage.
Acid soils are not good for cabbage. The best PH
range for cabbage is between pH 5.5 to 6.5 .Land is
prepared by ploughing it 3 to 4 times and leveling
the land, beds of suitable size and irrigation
channels are made.

Seed Rate &Time of Sowing:
Cabbage is grown mainly as Rabi crop during
winter in the month of October. But for late
varieties mid October to mid November. In cabbage
for early crop (September) 500 gm & for late crop
373 gm. seed is required.
Varieties:
Most of the varieties cultivated in Bangladesh are
imported hybrids which are differentiated as early,
medium and late depending temperature and growing
season

Seedbed for seedling:
Seedling raising is very important for cabbage crop.
Soil of the seedbed should be prepared with equal
amount sand, soil and compost. The soil of the seed
bed should be treated with 1:50 formaldehide and
water. The seeds should be dispersed densely for
thinning later. Seedlings should be transferred to
another seedbed after 10-12 days of germination. The
seed bed should be 3x1 meter and 20 seed beds are
required for 1 hector of land. 350-400grams seeds
required for 1 hector of land.

Cabbage and Cauliflower seed beds

Layout & Spacing:
Ridges & furrow type of layout is used
for crop. Before that seedlings are
prepared in nursery bed (Raised bed) &
transplanted in main field after 30-35
days. Spacing for early crop is 45x45 cm
and late crop it is 60x60 cm.

All compost, TSP and 100 kg MOP should be applied during

applied in equal installments after 10 and 25 days after
transplanting of seedlings and during head formation.
Fertilizer Application

Irrigation:
Irrigation at the time of transplanting is
essential. Steady supply of moisture is
necessary for god growth and
development. Interval between two
irrigations depends upon climate, soil and
plant growth. In winter season irrigation
at an interval of 8-10"days is sufficient.

Insect pest:
Cabbage crops are
attacked by Diamond
Back Moth and Blight
disease. To control
insect spray
Somithion or
Malathion 50 EC
2mm/liter of water. To
control blight disease
apply Bevistin 50 WP
2gram/litter of water.

Harvesting and
Yield:
In cabbage harvesting is done
depending on the maturity of
the head and demand in
market. Normally harvesting
is done when heads are firm.
If prices are high in the market
harvesting is done earlier
when heads are ax small and
loose Heads are cut with a
knife with little stalk arid
some leaves

Yield:
Heads are cut with a knife with little stalk arid
some leaves. Proper grading is followed before
heads are sent to market the yield of cabbage
variety from 15 to 25 tons per hectare. The yield of
cabbage depends upon the variety, growing season
and management practices, Hybrid cabbage yields
upto 60 tonner per hectare The yield of early
varieties ranges between 12 to 15 tones/ha. The
yield of late season varieties is about 20 to 25 tones
/ha. The growing period form seed to market is
about 100-110 days.

Cultivation of Cauliflower

Cultivation of Cauliflower
Introduction:
Cauliflower is a very popular winter vegetables in
Bangladesh. This is one of the main vegetable in other
countries of the world. Cultivation of cauliflower
started from in this the Moghu time and now it is
being cultivated all over Bangladesh.
Season and Climate:
It grows best in cool moist climate and is very hardy
to frost. It is very sensitive to temperature depending
on varieties so, selection of varieties depends on time
of planting. Its growth is best at a temperature of
about 15 °C to 25 °c. Temperatures below this and
above this are not suited for it.

Soil and its Preparation:
It can be grown almost in all types of soil ranging from
sand to heavy soils. But small quick growing cauliflower
varieties do well in sandy soils, while late maturing
varieties in heavy soils. Soils intended for cabbage
growing, should have good drainage. Acid soils are not
good for cauliflower. The best PH range for cabbage is
between pH 5.5 to 6.5. Lime may be added in acid soil to
make it neutral or alkaline for growing good crop of
cauliflower. Land is prepared by ploughing it 3 to 4
times. The land should be ploughing and leveling the
land, beds of suitable size and irrigation channels are
made.

Seed Rate &Time of Sowing:
Cauliflower is grown mainly as Rabi crop during
winter. For early variety mid August, middle variety
mid September and for late variety mid of October is
best for seeding. In cauliflower for early crop 600-700
grm & for late crop 375-400 grm. seed is required.

and Blight disease. To

liter insecticide is required
for 1 hectare of crop. To
control leaf spot disease
spray Rovral 50 WP or

Harvesting and Yield:
In Cauliflower harvesting is done depending on the
maturity of the head and demand in market. Normally
harvesting is done when head are firm. After appearance
of head harvesting may be done 90-100 after seeding.

If prices are high in the market harvesting is
done earlier when head are small. Proper
grading is followed before heads are sent to
market. The yield of cauliflower depends
upon the variety, growing season and
management practices, Hybrid cauliflower
yields upto 40 ton per hectare. The yield of
early varieties ranges between 12 to 15
tones/ha. The yield of late season varieties is
about 25 to 28 tones /ha.
