ABSTRACT
A field experiment was carried out entitled “Effect of Organic and Inorganic Fertilizers on growth, yield and Quality of Cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata)” in Randomized Block Design with three replications. The experiment was conducted at the Horticulture Research Farm of the Department of Applied Plant Science (Horticulture), Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, Vidya- Vihar, Rae Bareli Road, Lucknow-226025 (UP), India, during Rabi season of 2015. The experiment comprises of different doses of organic manures i.e. RDF 100%, FYM 100%, Azospirillum 100%, Azotobacter 100%, RDF 50%+ FYM 50% , RDF 50% + Azospirillum 50%, RDF 50%+ Azotobacter 50%, FYM 50%+ Azospirillum 50%, FYM 50% + Azotobacter 50%. The yield attributing characters were recorded maximum plant spread (57.06) per plant, number of leaves (10.90) per plant, length of stalk (3.90 cm), number of non- wrapper leaves (12.13) per plant, leaf area (1778.67), length of leaf (38.32 cm), leaf width (24.77), day maturity (77.25), volume of head (0.88) , head weight (1.27), maximum yield (8.820 kg/plot),TSS (60Brix), highest acidity (0.72%) and vitamin-C (19.20 mg/ 100 g) of fruit.
Key words: Organic manure, bio-fertilizers, cabbage, growth, yield and quality
