The objective of the yield trial for growing broccoli ad cabbage as a hygenic fresh vegetables was to get some informations for growing broccoli and cabbage inside mylon net and outsid enylon net during rainy season. these informations will be used as recommendation for the farmers in Songkhla in order to produce broccoli and cabbage. The tral was divided into 3 parts. First part was the yield trial comparison of growing broocoli between inside nylon net and outside nylon net and outside nylon net. Second part was the yield trial comparison of growing broccoli inside nylon net between two varieties. Top greenand Ky. Third part was the yield trial comparison of cabbage between growing inside nylon net and outside nylonnet. The trial was conducted at King Amphoe Bangrieny, Amphoe Khuan Niang, Changwat Songkhla during July - October 1998.

The results showed that growing broccoli inside nylon net during rainy season received higher yield (1,602 kg/rai) and also the percentage of yield lost from soft rot disease was lower than growing outside nylon net (1,192 kg/rai). The yield of two varieties of broccoli was not much different' 1,602 and 1,456 kg/rai for Top green and KY respecitively. The yield of cabbage between growing inside and outside nylon net was not much different; 1,132 and 1,020 kg/rai for inside nylon net and outside nylon net respectively.
