So prepare nursery and seed planting in September and was transferred to the main land in October. Analysis of variance showed that hah significant at 1% level of yield. Memphis andSpace star varieties had duration growth 130 and 120 days, and the highest yield 30 and 28 ton/hector. Arizona was the earliest variety with 100 day growing period, and 22 ton/ha yields in this study. Cauliflower crops have been good potential for 3 to 5 months period and recommended to paddy farmers in Mazandaran.
