Abstract:
The present investigation entitled “studies on effect of nitrogen and boric acid on growth, yield and quality of red cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata f. rubra)” was carried out in Rabi season 2022-2023 at Department of Horticulture, College of Agriculture, Latur. The treatment were four levels of nitrogen (0, 50, 75, 100 kg ha^-1) and three levels of boric acid (0, 50, 100 ml/L). The experiment was laid out in FRBD with three replication. Nitrogen and boric acid levels significantly influenced the growth, yield and quality parameters at all growth stages. The maximum plant height, diameter of stem, stem length, number of leaves per head, leaf area, number of outer leaves per plant, diameter of head, height of head, weight of head, yield per plot, yield per ha, total soluble solid content, ascorbic acid content and anthocyanin content were obtained with the application of 100 kg N/ha and 100 ml B/L in red cabbage.
