1This three year study is the first conducted in Australia which has evaluated and assessed the postharvest chain for export cauliflowers. From harvesting to transportation to the wharf, the project has identified a range of improved practices to ensure optimum quality of cauliflower at the destination market. The project has also examined cauliflower agronomy issues such as the effect of seed weight, seedling weight and phosphorus nutrition and placement on yield and harvest period, as well as variation
uliflowr shelf life at the destination. Cauliflower seed weights had no influence on germination rate, yield or maturity. However, it was discovered that those seeds that had germinated late (after four days) produced poor quality seedlings or failed to
