Adaptive potential of cauliflower productivity when it’s growing in Dagestan conditions

The article presents the results of a study on the main environmental parameters based on the signs of “average head weight” and “number of leaves” of cauliflower when tested in five points of the Republic of Dagestan: Derbent (17 m above sea level), Magaramkent district (220 m above sea level), Levashinsky district of Akhkent village (1200 m above sea level) and Levashi village (1220 m above sea level), Akushinsky district (1500 m above sea level). Due to the diversity of soil and climatic conditions of the republic, it is necessary to breed varieties and hybrids of vegetable crops. It has been established that the most valuable for cultivation, in terms of adaptation to the climatic and soil conditions of different zones, are the Shalasi, Ariel, Rannyaya Gribovskaya 1355 varieties. Favorable region of mountainous Dagestan for the cultivation of cauliflower is the Akhkent village (1200 m above sea level), the Levashi village (1220 m above sea level) and the Usisha village (1500 m above sea level).
