Landmark and Sprouting Broccoli Create, under the condttlons ot Ka\youbeyia governorate. The results reveal that early planting Increased nU~ber and weight or leaves per plant, stern diameter, average weight and diameler of the main head as well as head contents of ascorbic acid. The early transplanting prole ged the harvesting period, which led to an increase in the total yield of main and Side heads. On Ihe contrary, late transplantin9 on 1"!
