Abstract
A field experiment entitled “Effect of different organic manures on growth, yield and quality of cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.)” was conducted at RIOF experiment block, UAS, GKVK, Bangalore during rabi 2021. The experiment was laid out in
RCBD with 11 treatments replicated thrice. Results revealed that application of 100 percent N equivalent through biodigester liquid organic manure recorded significantly higher growth parameters like plant height (25.39 cm), number of leaf plant-1 (21.57) plant spread (45.17 cm2), number of days taken to head initiation (59.20 DAT) and number of days taken to head maturity (86.40 DAT) at harvest, yield attributes like diameter of head (14.29 cm), average weight of head (1240 g), yield of head plot-1 (40.53 kg) and yield of head ha-1 (240.36 q). Higher gross return Rs.6,00,900 ha-1) and net return (Rs.5,19,800 ha-1) was obtained with the
application of 100 per cent N equivalent through biodigester liquid organic manure. Whereas, higher B:C ratio (7.75) was recorded with the application of 100 percent N equivalent through farm yard manure (FYM). Quality parameters like ascorbic acid (35.63 mg) and protein content in head (3.10 %) was obtained with the application of 100. percent N. equivalent. through vermicompost.
