To examine the effect of nitrogen fertilization on cauliflower yield and nitrate accumulation in the cauliflower curd, the trials were set up involving two cauliflower genotypes (variety Snowball and Nautilus F1 hybrid), applying increasing nitrogen rates - 80, 120 and 160 kg N/ha broadcast as CAN (calcium ammonium nitrate). The results obtained showed that there was a rising tendency in all the parameters examined (curd weight, curd diameter, and total curd yield), concurrent with nitrogen rate increases, the average nitrate content in the cauliflower curd being 1124 mg/kg in variety and 733 mg/kg in the hybrid.
