Variety traits

Vegetation period — cauliflower

Brassica oleracea L. (Cauliflower Group)

The vegetation period of cauliflower is the time from full emergence to the onset of technical maturity of the head. Its duration varies from 50 to 270 days depending on the variety and growing conditions.

In the reference 118 varieties crop Cauliflower, where this is mentioned in the description.

The classification of varieties by maturity period divides them into early-maturing (50–100 days), mid-maturing (80–120 days), and late-maturing (110–170 days or more). In southern regions, the vegetation period can reach 270 days, which requires careful selection of hybrids for specific climatic conditions.

The duration of head formation depends significantly on temperature: at +21 °C the process takes 10–12 days, whereas at +7...+9 °C it extends to 40–45 days. The crop has low plasticity regarding harvest timing, as the inflorescences rapidly disintegrate once technical maturity is reached.

Sharp fluctuations in temperature and humidity during the vegetation period can cause physiological disorders, such as the absence of a head or the formation of 'buttons', which makes the plant unsuitable for harvesting regardless of the stated maturity period.
