The effect of cold treatments on the curd maturity of winter-heading cauliflowers
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 March 2009
Summary
In four experiments in different years, plants of four winter-heading cauliflower varieties with mean numbers of leaves and leaf initials varying from 9·5 to 16·5 were stored for periods of 14–24 days at different temperatures from 0 to 5 °C. Cold treatment tended to delay the time from sowing to 50% maturity but did not reduce the spread in the time of maturity of individual plants within a population. The reasons for this are discussed.
