A field experiment was conducted to study the suitability of cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis L.) cultivars with different plant densities for southern Agro climatic zone of Andhra Pradesh”. The experiment was conducted with four cultivars and three spicing levels. The treatments were replicated thrice in two factorial randomized block design. Highly significant differences were observed for growth and yield parameters. Among the cultivars Pusa Meghana (V2) was found to be superior for all growth parameters under study viz., plant height, stalk length, number of leaves per plant, petiole length, leaf area, leaf area index and total dry matter content. Among the spacing levels S3 (60 cm x 45 cm ) recorded highest in all growth parameters while, among the interaction effects Pusa Meghana with S3 (60 cm x 45 cm ) spacing levels (V2S3) recorded highest in all growth parameters. Regarding yield parameters Pusa Meghana recorded maximum curd weight, curd diameter, curd size index and yield per hectare. Whereas, spacing level 45 cm x 45 cm (S2) recorded highest under all yield parameters. Among the interaction effects the cultivar Pusa Meghana with 45 cm x 45 cm spacing levels (V2S2) recorded highest in all yield parameters.
