| dc.description.abstract | A field experiment was carried out to study the effect of indigenous potassium sources on growth, yield and quality of cabbage during the year 2020-21. The experiment laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) comprised of 10 treatments with three replications. Incinerated ash, distillery sludge and distillery sludge ash were used as indigenous sources of potassium from sugar industry in different combinations along with Muriate of Potash (MOP). Amongst the different combinations of treatments where 25 per cent of MOP was supplemented with indigenous potassium sources that too incinerated ash recorded higher growth parameters like leaf length (26.64 and 28.95 cm), leaf breadth (21.40 and 27.90 cm), number of leaves (21.40 and 23.60), leaf area (331.80 and 498.70 cm2 ), plant height (23.22 and 28.83 cm) and SPAD meter reading (64.70 and 80.00) at 30 and 60 DAT, respectively and also recorded higher quality and yield attributes like diameter of head (44.33 cm), dry matter of head (7.20 g/100g), head compactness (11.96 kg cm-2 ), vitamin C content (40.00 mg/100g) and weight of head (1.07 kg/plant), yield per plot (51.36 kg/plot) and yield per hectare (79.26 t/ha), respectively. The treatment T7 (25% K through incinerated ash/ boiler ash + 75% MOP) showed lower soil pH (7.14 and 6.94), EC (0.17 and 0.12 dsm-1 ) and higher OC (0.81 and 0.74%) at 30 and 60 DAT, respectively. As far as available nutrients in soil also the treatment T7 recorded higher nitrogen (335.53 and 275.96 kg ha-1) , phosphorus (86.85 and 64.80 kg ha-1 ), potassium (582.50 and 569.20 kg ha-1 ), calcium (25.30 and 23.01 c mol (p + ) kg-1 soil), magnesium (5.47 and 4.36 c mol (p + ) kg-1 soil) and sulphur (24.57 and 19.80 ppm) at 30 and 60 DAT, respectively compared with control (RDF only). Similarly, the total plant nutrient uptake such as nitrogen (205.98 kg ha-1 ), phosphorus (47.07 kg ha-1 ), potassium (290.30 kg ha-1 ), calcium (0.65 kg ha-1 ), magnesium (0.32 kg ha-1 ) and sulphur (16.99 kg ha-1 ) was found higher in treatment T7 compared with other treatments where 25 per cent of MOP was supplemented with incinerated ash (boiler ash) and also the B:C ratio was also found higher (1:4.94) in treatment T7 where 25 per cent of K was supplied through incinerated ash. The outcome of the current research (25% incinerated ash + 75% MOP) could be recommended for the farmers for higher returns. | en_US |
