A field experiment was conducted for four consecutive years with a view to assess the response of early cauliflower variety (Sabour agrim) based on multilocational trials in Saharanpur district during the kharif season. The trials were conducted in different locations in entire district and compared with the farmer practice (local). The results revealed that transplanting of early cauliflower variety (Sabour agrim) had a significant effect on growth and yield of cauliflower followed by maximum plant height (68.4 cm), the best marketable size of curd (472.9 g), maximum curd length (15.2 cm), diameter of curd (17.3 cm) and the maximum yield (208 q/ha) over local hybrid varieties. Cauliflower can be grown better at places which are cool, frost and litter free than other Brassicaceae. It is difficult to grow cauliflower as a spring crop because it tends to bolt during the condition of extreme heat. Farmers of Saharanpur district mainly grow hybrid varieties of cauliflower for good remuneration. They invest more money on seed due to which cost of cultivation become very high in comparison to return. With the adoption of early cauliflower variety farmers are getting high income over local varieties.
