Physiological Disorders commonly seen in Cauliflower
1. Browning:
|
fig: Whiptail |
2. Whiptail
This disorder is caued due to the deficiency of Molybdenum. Young cauliflower plants become chlorotic in nature and may turn white, particularly along the leaf margins, leaves also become cupped and wither. Whiptail develops with high nitrate supply and low molybdenum. So in acidic soil, heavy application of nitrogenous fertilizers should be avoided. Application of 1.5 kg sodium or ammonium molybdate per hectare is recommended mixed with fertilizers or irrigation water when the plants are set in the field. Spraying the crop with 0.1% ammonium molybdate can also be done.
3. Buttoning
|
fig: Buttoning |
Buttoning is generally known as the development of small curds with inadequate foliage in cauliflower. It is also referred as premature heading. The causes of buttoning are transplanting over-aged seedlings, poor nitrogen supply, and wrong selection of cultivars which means transplantation of early season variety on late season and vice-versa. Maintenance of adequate supply of nutrients and good plant population checks the disorders.
4. Ricyness
|
fig: riceyness |
In this disorder velvety or granular appearance on the surface of the curd is seen. Due to higher or lower temperature than the optimum temperature required for a particular variety, temperature fluctuation at the time of curd development, poor seed stock generally causes ricyness. Selection of proper variety and transplanting at right time controls this malady.
5. Hollow stem:
|
fig: Hollow stem |
Hollowness is caused by boron deficiency and higher supply of nitrogen. It can be controlled by spraying of borax @ 15-20 kg/ha. in normal types of hollowness, spacing the plants in closer is suggested.
6. Fuzziness:
|
fig: Fuzziness |
The flower pedicels becomes velvety and curd elongates. The cultivation of the cultivars out of their normal growing season encourages this disorder. Sowing of good quality of seed in right times under proper cultural practices minimizes the fuzziness.
So helpfull
