Abstract:
During the 2018–19 and 2019–20 academic years, at Department of Horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institute of the Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology, and Sciences (SHUATS), Prayagraj (U.P.), a field study was conducted. We used a Randomized Block Design with 17 treatments (variations in Inorganic fertilisers, organic manures, and biofertilizers) and 3 replications for this investigation. The main goals of this research were to evaluate head quality and physico-chemical properties of soil of cabbage grown under different levels of Inorganic fertilisers, organic manures, and biofertilizers. Minimum head compactness (23.77%, 21.34%, and 22.56%), maximum Vitamin C (mg/100 g edible portion) (43.82 mg/100 g, 45.32 mg/100 g and 44.57 mg/100 g), T.S.S. (° Brix) (5.71° Brix, 5.54° Brix and 5.63° Brix), N content (%) (0.31%, 0.32%, and 0.31%) and Protein content (%) (1.99%, 2.10%, and 2.05%) were all reported in T₉ (FYM 20 t + 75% NPK + Azotobacter + PSB) over both years and also the pooled analysed data. In relation to soil physico chemical attributes minimum Available Nitrogen (N) (Kg/ha) (164.54 Kg/ha, 166.55 Kg/ha and 165.55 Kg/ha), Available Phosphorous (P) (Kg/ha) (11.6 Kg/ha, 13.73 Kg/ha and 12.67 Kg/ha) and Available Potassium (kg/ha) (208.72 Kg/ha, 211.75 Kg/ha and 210.24 Kg/ha) during both the years and pooled were recorded in T₉ (FYM 20 t + 75% NPK + Azotobacter + PSB).
