The present study was conducted during December 2024 to February 2025 at the Department of Horticulture, SHUATS, Prayagraj, to evaluate the performance of 10 coloured cauliflower varieties under the local agro-climatic conditions. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design with three replications. Significant variation was observed among the varieties for growth, yield, and quality traits. Variety 2 (Snow Crown) outperformed others in plant height, canopy cover, curd yield, curd diameter, and also recorded the highest gross return, net return, and benefit-cost ratio (3.90). The variety SNOW CROWN showed superiority in weight of the curd, biological yield. These findings suggest SNOW CROWN as the most promising variety for cultivation under Prayagraj conditions.
