Abstract:
This field experiment was conducted to study the Effect of different levels of vermicompost and foliar application of micronutrients on growth, yield and quality of cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) during rabi season of 2019-20 at Horticulture Farm, Department of Horticulture, S.K.N College of Agriculture, Jobner, Jaipur, Rajasthan. The experiment was consisting 16 treatments viz., four levels of vermicompost (control, vermicompost @ 5.0 t/ha, vermicompost @ 7.5 t/ha and vermicompost @ 10 t/ha) and four levels of foliar application of micronutrient (control, iron @ 0.5%, boron @ 0.2% and zinc @ 0.5% per ha) with the combination was laid out in FRBD (Factorial Randomized Block Design) with three replications.
TSS content, protein content, NPK and micronutrient (Zn, B, Fe) content in head of cabbage. Although, application of vermicompost @ 7.5 t/ha was found statistically at par to vermicompost @ 10 t/ha. While, the significant decrease days at maturity was found in treatment vermicompost @ 10 t/ha over control and V1 (vermicompost @ 5 t/ha). Similarly, foliar application of micronutrient at Zn @ 0.5% significantly increased quality parameters of cabbage, but it was found statistically at par with Fe @ 0.5% for quality attributes.
