Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at the field of CAMPUS OF LIVE SCIENCES, Dang having clay loam soil to evaluate effect of integrated management of FYM and urea in cabbage. This experiment was carried out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) having six treatments with three replications. Golden Ball variety of cabbage was selected for this research as a test crop. The application of FYM and urea shows significant result on the plant height, number of leaves, length of plant, head diameter and biomass yield. The maximum head diameter was observed in treatment 50%FYM +50% UREA (14.31cm).The highest total yield (9.63Mt/ha) and highest economic yield (6.16Mt/ha) was obtained from treatment 50%UREA +50 %FYM which was similar with recommend rate of fertilizer for cabbage. The highest soil pH (6.40), soil moister content (40.46%), the lowest bulk density (1.12g/cm3) was obtained from FYM application. The highest organic matter content (1.46) was also observed from FYM application. The most of the soil properties were enhanced by application of FYM and UREA. Furthermore, FYM played important role in maintaining soil physical property. In addition, this study indicates the possibility of FYM application to reduce nutrient risk by enhancing physio-chemical properties of clay loam soil. This result will helpful for the student and scientists in further research to increase the productivity and for the improvement of soil property.

Highlights

Cabbage (Brasicca oleracea var. capitata L.) is a green leafy vegetable crop, belonging to the cruciferae family originating from the South and Western part of Europe
At 30DAS, the result showed that the highest (18cm) plant height was obtained from 50%farm yard manure (FYM)+50%Urea
Similar findings in the plant height of cabbage were obtained by various researchers and the application of mixed fertilizers influenced the plant height

Summary

Introduction

Cabbage (Brasicca oleracea var. capitata L.) is a green leafy vegetable crop, belonging to the cruciferae family originating from the South and Western part of Europe. Capitata L.) is a green leafy vegetable crop, belonging to the cruciferae family originating from the South and Western part of Europe. Cabbage is well known for its nutritional importance. It is rich in vitamins like A, B1, B2 & C, contains minerals like P, K, Na, Fe, fats and protein. Cabbage provides cooling effect; aids in digestion which helps to prevent constipation and helps to prevent diabetic problems. Cabbage is a cole crop which flourishes well in cool moist climate. It can be grown on a wide range of soils but it thrives on well-drained, moistureretentive loamy soils well supplied with organic matter
