| Title |
Double transplantation of cauliflower and cabbage |
|
|
| Abstract |
This is a practice for raising secondary nursery for crops where in seeds are first sown and pulled out when the first pair of leaves are produced. These young seedlings are transplanted to another bed with a wider spacing of five to ten cm. These are then transplanted to the main field along with root masses. (Gopalakrishnan T.R. (2007); Vegetable Crops: 25). Stress on this account apparently improves yield. |

| Details |
To grow cauliflower and cabbage, the local tribal communities of Sundargarh first grow the seeds on a nursery bed. When the seedlings grow to two leaves, they transplant them in another bed and allow them to grow to six to eight leaves. At this stage, they finally transplant the seedlings in the field. The cabbages and cauliflower crops thus have a healthier growth and the harvest is better than one time transplantation. Tribal farmer Gananatha has been following this method for last five years and has reported good results. |
