Some farmers have obtained variety of cabbage in which flower development was arrested and then they were cultivated as broccoli.
Some farmers have obtained variety of cabbage having sterile flowers and they were cultivated as cauliflower.
Some farmers selected the swollen portion of the wild cabbage and developed new variety called Kohlrabi from this.
