Abstract

Optimum plant spacing is important for crop production through the plants’ efficient utilization of light,nutrients, and water. The present study was done to find out the impact of spacing on growth, yield andquality of cauliflower. The work was carried out with five different spacing along with three replications inrandomized block design. It was observed that treatment S (60 X 50 cm) was the best treatment for moregrowth, high yield, and better quality with more profit it may be due to wide spacing and more absorptionsof nutrients by plant from soil then the lesser spacing.
