Abstract:
The present study entitled “The Effect of Foliar application of Micronutrients on the Quality attributes of Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.) Under Southern zone of Telangana” was carried out during the Rabi season of the year 2022-2023 at PG research block, College of Horticulture, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad. The results revealed that among the quality attributes, maximum Chlorophyll content (2.70 mg/100 g FW), Vitamin–A (114.32 IU/100 g) and Shelf life of cabbage heads (10.25 days) at room temperature was observed in treatment combination of T₉-Zn (0.25%) +B (0.2%) + Mn (0.25%) +Mo (0.25%) which was significantly superior over rest of the treatments, whereas minimum chlorophyll content (1.80 mg/100 g FW), vitamin-A (104.43 IU/100 g), lowest shelf- life at room temperature (7.46 days) was recorded in treatment T₁₁ (control). The highest Vitamin-C (51.61 mg/100 g) was recorded in treatment combination of T₁₀-Zn (0.5%) +B (0.4%) +Mn (0.5%) + Mo (0.5%) which was significantly superior over rest of the treatments, whereas minimum vitamin-C content (43.77 mg/100 g) was recorded in treatment T₁₁ (control).
