Summary

One ppm molybdenum produced the greatest height, fresh and dry weight per plant; number, fresh and dry weight of leaves; diameter, length, fresh and dry weight of stem; length, fresh and dry weight of roots; yield and yield-attributing characters (height, diameter, fresh and dry weight of curd), and N content of component parts of cauliflower plants (curd, leaf, stem and root). The lowest values for these characters were obtained in the control (nil Mo). Reducing and non-reducing sugars and vitamin C (ascorbic acid) were favourably enhanced (0·5 ppm Mo). The lowest values for sugars and ascorbic acid were observed under 1·0 ppm and nil Mo respectively. The quadratic response curve was drawn in terms of fresh weight of curd and rates of molybdenum application.
