Abstract
This document has been prepared from a cauliflower and broccoli variety evaluation trial conducted at the Manjimup Horticultural Research Institute, South Western Highway, Manjimup WA 6258. The results reflect the growth characteristics, yield, quality and density of the cauliflower and broccoli varieties as recorded at this site during the conditions of the growing period (January to May 2006).
This report is the second in a series of four produced from the evaluation of cauliflower and broccoli varieties conducted at the Manjimup Horticultural Research Institute. The results are provided to allow seed suppliers, seedling nurseries, producers, packers and marketers to identify the best variety for a particular harvest period. All varieties receive exactly the same treatment throughout their growth. This has allowed the identification of agronomic requirements that may be specific to some varieties. Varieties that have specific agronomic requirements may perform better when the growing inputs are exactly tailored to suit these varieties.
