Question:

Physiologic disorder is one of most important limitations of cauliflower.
A. Occurrence of Browning and Whiptail in cauliflower depends on climatic conditions.
B. Browning and Whiptail in cauliflower are caused due to deficiency of micronutrients.
C. Blindness, Buttoning and Ricyness are caused due to deficiency of micronutrients.
D. Blindness, Buttoning and Ricyness depends on climatic conditions.
E. Blindness, Buttoning and Ricyness are not physiological disorders.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Show Hint

Remember cauliflower disorders:
- Browning: Boron deficiency
- Whiptail: Molybdenum deficiency
- Blindness: Absence of curd (temperature stress)
- Buttoning: Premature curd formation
- Ricyness: Loose, rice-like curd
- All are physiological disorders (except C)
  • A, B, and D Only
  • A, B, C, D and E Only
  • B and D Only
  • A, B, C, and D Only

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
This question tests knowledge of physiological disorders in cauliflower.

Step 2: Detailed Explanation:

Browning and Whiptail (A & B):
- Caused due to deficiency of micronutrients (molybdenum, boron).
- Depends on climatic conditions (soil pH, moisture stress).
Thus, A and B are correct.
Blindness, Buttoning, and Ricyness (D):
- These depend on climatic conditions (temperature extremes, moisture stress).
- Not caused by micronutrient deficiency.
Thus, D is correct.
Statement C:
Blindness, Buttoning, and Ricyness are not caused by micronutrient deficiency.
Thus, C is incorrect.
Statement E:
Blindness, Buttoning, and Ricyness are physiological disorders.
Thus, E is incorrect.

Step 3: Final Answer:

Thus, the correct statements are A, B, and D only, which corresponds to option (A).
