Abstract: A field experiment conducted for two successive seasons at University Research Farm Chatha, SKUAST, Jammu of J&K State during two successive years ( Rabi seasons of 2015-16 and 2016-17) [12] to investigate the effect of different levels of boron levels, mulching and moisture regimes on yield of cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis L.) [14]. The experiment was laid out in the light textured soil i.e. Sandy clay loam with Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD) constituting 16 different treatment combinations with 3 replications. The experiment layout comprises of 48 no. of plots having size 4 x 3 m2 each. The treatment comprises of four levels of boron viz., B0, B2.5, B5.0, and B7.5 applied through borax (0, 2.5, 5.0 and 7.5 kg ha-1). The overall results (two years pooled data) clearly showed that the treatment combination of B5.0M1W1 registered highest yield of 318.9 q ha-1 Whereas, the lowest curd yield 282.2 q ha-1 was registered by B0M1W1 treatment thereby improving 13.00 % in cauliflower yield. Similarly, During Rabi 2015-16 [12] and Rabi 2016-17[12] thereby improving 12.79 % and 13.24 % in cauliflower yield respectively. The application of 5.0 kg borax ha-1 along with 30 t ha-1 FYM as well as 6 t paddy straw mulch ha-1 and 20 % reduction of plant available water is best suited to ameliorate the B deficiency and boosting the productivity of cauliflower production in light textured soils.
