Abstract
The experiment was conducted to study the effect of integrated nutrient management on growth and yield of cabbage at research farm, Department of Horticulture, Udai Pratap Autonomous College, Varanasi (U.P.) during Rabi season of 2016-17. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design (RBD) with nine treatments replicated thrice. The treatment comprised of different levels of NPK, farmyard manure (FYM), vermicompost, phosphorus solubilizing mycorrhiza and Azospirillum. The results revealed that the application of different levels of fertilizers, in combination with organic manures and bio-fertilizers significantly increased the growth and yield of cabbage. The number of non-wrapped leaves (14.46), weight of non-wrapped leaves plant-1 (644.53 g), days taken to maturity (75.53), head size index (351.53 cm2), head weight (1207.86 g) and yield per hectare (447.69 q ha-1) were recorded with the combined application of half dose of NPK+ vermicompost @ 2.5 t + Azospirillum @ 5 kg + phosphorus solubilizing mycorrhiza @ 5 kg ha-1.from the study it was concluded that the application of vermicompost or FYM + Azospirillum+ phosphorus solubilizing mycorrhiza along with NPK was recommended for higher cabbage crop yield.
