Cauliflower farming needs careful planning, pest control, and good markets. Weather and challenges bring risks. Profits rise with best practices, adaptability, and market understanding.
For successful cauliflower farming, choose a cool location with well-drained, fertile soil (pH 6.5-7.5). Additionally, adequate sunlight and good air circulation are also essential.
To prepare the land, it's recommended to till or plow the soil to loosen it up and clear out any unwanted debris or weeds. To enhance fertility, add compost or manure to the soil.
After 4-6 weeks, transplant the cauliflower seedlings that have grown a few true leaves. Ensure to space them 18-24 inches apart and keep the rows 2-3 feet apart.
To ensure proper growth, keep the soil evenly moist with consistent irrigation. Many gardeners prefer drip irrigation to avoid wetting foliage and disease risk.
Harvesting cauliflower can vary based on the seedlings' variety, climate, and age. Generally, scissors or knives are used for harvesting, and multiple rounds are done to complete.
