Abstract

This document has been prepared from a cauliflower variety evaluation trial conducted at the Manjimup Horticultural Research Institute, South West Highway, Manjimup WA 6258. The results reflect the growth characteristics, yield, quality and density of the cauliflower varieties as recorded at this site during the conditions of the growing period (May 2002 to September 2002).

This report is the thirty-fourth in a series produced from the evaluation of cauliflower and broccoli varieties, conducted at Manjimup Horticultural Research Institute. Cauliflower only has been evaluated in this and in subsequent trials.

The results are provided to allow seed suppliers, seedling nurseries, growers, packers and exporters 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.
