INTRODUCTION CONTI…..
Knol-khol is originated from wild cabbage (B. oleracea var.
sylvestris)
Purple/Early varieties are more susceptible to premature bolting.
In India, knol-khol is more popular in kashmir and minor crop in
West Bengal, Himachal pradesh, Karnataka.
In Kashmir, knol-khol leaves are also used as greens.
It is excellent vegetable if used at its early stage before it becomes
tough and fibrous.

MORPHOLOGY• Formation of knob (tuber) which arises from a thickening of the
stem tissue above the cotyledons
• The fleshy edible proration is an enlargement of the stem, which develops entirely above ground and is used as a vegetable
• The edible portion is globular to a slightly flattened stem
![Page 7: Knol khol by harmanjeet](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061600/58718e6d1a28ab2c198b6f19/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
CLIMATIC REQUIREMENT Cool season crop
Temperature It can withstand extreme cold and frost better than
other cool season crop Optimum temperature 15 0C to 200C Tuber production 100C to 200C When grown below 15 0C for extended period early
varieties produce flower stalks (bolting) directly without forming knobs
Purple varieties more prone to bolting.

Successfully grown on all types of soil
But the sandy loam and clay loam soils are best
suitable pH 5.5-6.8 A soil rich in manures and fertilizers produces excellent
knobs
Does not grow well in highly acidic soil

TRANSPLANTING
• 3 to 4 week old seedlings become ready for transplanting
• Ridges and furrow type beds used
• SPACING : 25cm × 25cm, 25cm × 30cm, 25cm × 40cm, 30cm × 20cm or 30cm × 45cm depending on climatic condition
• Seedlings should be watered and protection may
be given from sun rays for 4 – 5 days
![Page 16: Knol khol by harmanjeet](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061600/58718e6d1a28ab2c198b6f19/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
MANURING AND FERTILIZATION
• Knol-khol responds well to manuring, as it is a heavy feeder.
• Add N -- 100 kg/ha ,
P -- 80 to 90 kg/ ha ,
K – 150 to 175 kg/ha.
• Nitrogen is applied in 2 equal split doses, 3 weeks after transplanting and at knob development stage .
![Page 17: Knol khol by harmanjeet](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061600/58718e6d1a28ab2c198b6f19/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
AFTER CARE
•Weeds are removed from field by hand weeding.
• Generally 2-3 weeding are done in the initial stage of growth.
• The field must be kept free from weeds.
• Plant should be earthen up after 25 – 30 days of transplantation.
![Page 18: Knol khol by harmanjeet](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061600/58718e6d1a28ab2c198b6f19/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
IRRIGATION
• Knol-khol requires a continuous supply of moisture for uniform growth and development of knobs
• After transplanting, should be watered for 4 to 5 days (as stated the seedlings, after transplanting, should be watered for four to five days)
• Should be given an interval of 6 to 7 days
• Thereafter irrigation is done when needed, depending on soil and weather conditions

• Aphids
• Thrips
•Mustard saw fly
• Semi looper
• Nematods
• Caterpillars & beetles

DISEASES
• Damping off
• Leaf spot & blight
• Club root
• Black rot
• Root fly
![Page 21: Knol khol by harmanjeet](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061600/58718e6d1a28ab2c198b6f19/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
PEST & DISEASES CONTROL
• Pruning of the old leaves
•Weed control & clean of field
• Use chemical & organic pesticides (foliar spray of garlic extract at 3% concentration, Spray Trichoderma at 2-3 % against root fly & black rot)
![Page 22: Knol khol by harmanjeet](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061600/58718e6d1a28ab2c198b6f19/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
HARVESTING• Done at tender stage when the knobs attain 6-8 cm diameter
• Knobs are harvested by cutting the stem just below it by a sharp knife or sickle before they are fully grown
• Should be harvested with few leaves for nearby markets and without leaves for distant markets.
• Delayed in harvesting results in fibrous knobs development.
