Abstract
A field experiment was conducted at the Horticultural farm, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka-1207 during the period from October 2015 to February 2016 with micronutrient Boron applied to cauliflower cultivar, ‘F1 hybrid’. Four treatments viz., B0: Control, B1: 1kg ha-1, B2: 1.5kg ha-1, B3: 2kg ha-1 was utilized in this experiment which was arranged in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Maximum Plant height (41.66 cm), Leaf number (19.35), Leaf area (182.51 cm2), 50% curd initiation (47.23 days), pure curd weight (698.20 g), curd weight with leaves (1.56 kg), curd yield plot-1 (1.53 kg) and curd yield ha-1 (15.30 t) at harvest was found at B3 treatment while lowest was (14.28 cm, 6.33 leaves, 121.85 cm2, 48.44 days, 418.60 g, 1.07 kg, 1.05 kg, 10.49 ton ha-1 respectively) was recorded from control. Therefore, result indicates that application of micronutrient (Boron) in supplement with recommended fertilizer at 2 kg ha-1 will successfully increase growth and yield of cauliflower.
