Broccoli Overview
Broccoli, also known as green cauliflower, originated in Italy and is a common vegetable. It’s a biennial herbaceous plant and a variant of cabbage. Its leaves are large, and a thick flower head forms at the top of the main stem, which can be green or purple.
In February 2020, in Hubei Province, the vegetable farm used a DJI T16 drone to prevent downy mildew over a 1,000-acre broccoli field.
