Curd, seed yield and disease resistance of cauliflower are enhanced by oligosaccharides.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Oligosaccharides have been demonstrated as promoters for enhancing plant growth across several crops by elevating their secondary metabolites. However, the exploration of employing diverse oligosaccharides for qualitative trait improvements in cauliflower largely unknown. This study was intended to uncover the unexplored potential, evaluating the stimulatory effects of three oligosaccharides on cauliflower's curd and seed production.

Methods

Two experiments were initiated in the early (15 September) and mid-season (15 October). Four treatments were implemented, encompassing a control (water) alongside chitosan oligosaccharide (COS 50 mg.L^-1) with a degree of polymerization (DP) 2-10, oligo galacturonic acid (OGA 50 mg.L^-1) with DP 2-10 and al
