Report provides information on agronomic methods that may be implemented to increase uniformity of maturity in brassica crops, reducing the number of harvests required. An Agronomic package for loam soil was developed, focusing on nutrients and irrigation, seeking to assist farmers in reducing the spread of crop maturity. This could potentially allow mechanical harvesting of broccoli and cauliflower to be introduced in some farming businesses.
