The effect of sowing date on the growth and yield of cauliflower was studied under the Agro-climatic conditions of Juglote, Gilgit, Northern Areas of' Pakistan during 2003. Five sowing dates were used in this study. Significant variations were observed in different growth and yield parameters among the sowing dates. Second sowing date (16th June) statistically showed maximum fresh plant weight (2.6 kg plant-1), head weight (1.4 kg plant-1), number of marketable heads (27.00 plot-1) and head yield (37.83 t ha-1). Therefore 16th June proved to be the optimum sowing time for cauliflower cv. Snow Ball in Juglote, Gilgit, Northern Areas of Pakistan.
