The Influence of Plants Layout on a Stratum upon the Production of Cauliflower (Brassica oleraceea, convar. botrytis, L.)
Abstract
Cauliflower is a well known and appreciated vegetable in Romania. It has only 24calories/100g and contains high quantities of vitamin C (60g/100g of cauliflower), vitamins from theB complex, vitamin K and E. It also contains a lot of minerals, calcium, potassium, zinc, copper,magnesium, selenium. Cauliflower can be grown in spring or in autumn, in protected culture or inopen field. Cauliflower culture can be started by direct sowing or by seedlings. The experiment tookplace in 2011, in a polyethylene tunnel, from USAMV Cluj-Napoca. The culture was started in March,with small seedlings. Three cauliflower hybrids were used, Stargate, Diadom and Opal. The plantswere placed on the stratum on two or three rows. The highest yields were obtained on the variants ontwo rows, of 28.82 t/ha compared to the variants placed on three rows, that average a yield of 23.76.Authors who publish with this journal agree to the following terms:
