| dc.description.abstract | The present investigation entitled “Performance of bioformulations and intercropping system on growth, yield and quality of cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata)” was conducted at Vegetable Farm, College of Horticulture and Forestry, Jhalrapatan City, Jhalwar, Rajasthan. The experiment was laid out in the Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications comprised of fourteen treatments involving sole cabbage crop and intercropping with carrot (1:1) with foliar spray of Panchgavya @ 3% & 6%, Jeevamruth @ 3% & 6% and Amrutpani @ 3% & 6%. Result concluded from the foliar application of bioformulations (Panchgavya, Jeevamruth and Amrutpani ) and intercropping system that treatment T9 resulted in the maximum values for morphological parameters: (plant height (21.56 and 28.35 cm) at 45 DAT and at harvest, number of Unopened leaves per plant (33.93), number of open leaves per plant (19.20), on harvest, stem diameter (3.50 and 3.77 cm), plant spread (41.32 and 53.49 cm) in cabbage and plant height (13.16 and 33.02 cm), number of leaves per plant (8.13 and 12.47) at 45 DAS and harvest in carrot also). For yield parameters: Treatment T9 resulted in the maximum values for (head diameter (14.50 cm), weight of head per plant(1197.40 g) and for yield of head per plot(39.49 kg) and Estimated Yield (731.55 q) was found in T2 and maximum values for carrot Root length (17.85 cm), Root Width (3.33 cm), Root weight per plant (108.07 g), Core diameter (1.12 cm), Yield per plot (6.48 kg) and Estimated yield (120.07 q) was recorded from Treatment T9 ) . For quality parameters: Treatment T9 resulted in the maximum values for (Volume of cabbage (1392.56 cc), Crude protein (16.79 %), TSS (7.22 0Brix), Ascorbic acid (38.32 mg/100g), Antioxidants content (0.225 μ mol Trolox/100g), nitrogen content (2.69 %), iron (29.98 ppm) and copper content (2.93 ppm) in cabbage head and for carrot maximum carotene content (16.34 mg/100g) and TSS (12.94 0Brix) was also found in treatment T9. The maximum values for cabbage equivalent yield (893.73q/ha), net returns (₹ 254752/ha) and benefit cost ratio (2.8) was also recorded in treatment T9 (Cabbage + Carrot (1:1) + Panchgavya @ 3%). However, the minimum values for morphological, yield, quality, net returns (₹ 82357/ha) and benefit cost ratio (1.0) was observed in treatment T1 (Sole cabbage + No spray) and minimum values for yield per plot and estimated yield was noted in treatment T8 in cabbage. Likewise in carrot also the Treatment T8 resulted in minimum values for morphological, yield and quality parameters From the present investigation, it may concluded that T9 (Cabbage + Carrot (1:1) + Panchgavya @ 3%) proved superiority over all treatments in improving growth, yield, quality and economic parameters. | |
