Abstract

Use of carefully lifted, decapitated cauliflower plants with 6 to 7 leaves per se, eliminated the need of the rooting of shoots and provided seeds in reduced time. Previously, shoots obtained from decapitated and de-leafed plants were rooted and allowed to produce seeds. This latter method did not assure that seed would be available in time for the following season's planting.
