Abstract
This article examines the growth, development, and productivity indicators of Romanesco cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis) cultivars under various secondary planting dates in the environmental conditions of the Andijan region. Experiments were conducted at 10-day intervals, incorporating systematic phenological observations and biometric measurements. The research findings indicate that seedlings transplanted between July 10 and July 20 exhibited superior performance in leaf count, leaf surface area, and head weight. Under optimal temperature (25–30°C) and relative humidity, the vegetative period of the plants progressed normally. The Veronica variety recorded an average head weight of 420 g, demonstrating significantly higher yields compared to other tested cultivars. These results hold practical significance for determining optimal planting windows and refining agrotechnological practices for the secondary cultivation of Romanesco cauliflower.
