Abstract:
An experiment was conducted during in Rabi season (Nov. 2021-Feb. 2022) to study the “Effect of Inorganic Fertilizers and Organic Manures on Physio-Chemical Properties of Soil in Cabbage (Brassica oleracea L.) Var. Pusa Drumhead”. On central research farm of Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three levels of inorganic fertilizer (0% NPK + 50% NPK + 100% NPK and 0% Zn + 50% Zn + 100% Zn) and three levels of organic manures (0% FYM + 50% FYM + 100% FYM). It was recorded from the application of inorganic fertilizer and organic manures in treatment T₉ (NPK @ 100% + Zn @ 100% + FYM @ 100%) maximum bulk density 1.52 Mg m^-3, percent pore space 46.87%, water holding capacity 46.87%, pH 7.38, EC 0.62 dSm^-1, organic carbon 0.72%, available Nitrogen 332.45 kg ha^-1, available phosphorus 35.75 kg ha^-1, available potassium 219.54 kg ha^-1, available zinc 0.62 mg kg^-1 with cost of cultivation 99596.40 ₹ ha^-1, gross return 361600.00 ₹ ha^-1, net profit 262003.60 ₹ ha^-1, and benefit cost ratio 1: 3.63 best from T₁ [Control (NPK @ 0% + Zn @ 0% + FYM @ 0%)].
