Early Autumn Cauliflower Variety Trial (1986)
Trials to evaluate the heat tolerance of cauliflower have been conducted at the North Willamette Station for several years. These trials were transplanted in late May for July harvest. The 1985 trial differed in that the varieties were transplanted in early July for late summer to early autumn harvest. As with the earlier trials, the major desired quality is the ability to withstand high temperatures without ricing or discoloration while producing a high density, moderately sized head.
