Crucifer production is well established in all three states (Table 1).
Farmers fromWest Bengal had significantly more experience in crucifer cultivation compared to those in Karnataka.
Average farm sizes were significantly smaller in West Bengal as compared to Karnataka and Gujarat.
On average, farmers allocated approximately 50% or more of their land to the cultivation of vegetables, and 40% or more to the cultivation of crucifers.
Thus, crucifer production played an important role in overall farm operations.
