ABSTRACT
Cauliflower is the popular most ‘cole’ crop in India. It is cultivated almost throughout the country particularly during the winter months. Himachal Pradesh is a very potent cauliflower growing state and productivity is higher than national average. There are some important diseases like stalk rot and black rot and disorder like riceyness which significantly reduces the yield, market value of curd, consumer’s acceptibility and creates a limitation in profitable cauliflower cultivation in this province. So that, twenty genotypes of mid late and late group cauliflower were evaluated for their response towards stalk rot, black rot and Riceyness during Rabi season of 2016 at the Experimental Farm of the Department of Vegetable Science, Dr. YS Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Solan, Himachal Pradesh. The analysis of variance revealed highly significant differences among all the genotypes for their response to the diseases. Among all the genotypes studied, DC-76 reflected minimum (3.95%) stalk rot incidence whereas Pusa Snowball K-1 showed minimum (11.03%) black rot severity. In the current study majority of the genotypes were found to produce non ricey curds.
Key words: Cauliflower, Diseases and Disorder, Black rot, Stalk rot, Riceyness.
