Effect of Gibberellic acid and nitrogen on yield and marketability of cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.) cv. pride of India

Abstract

The present investigation entitled “Effect of Gibberellic acid and Nitrogen on yield and marketability of cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.) cv. Pride of India” was conducted at Rampur Farm and (PG) Laboratory of Doon (PG) College of Agriculture Science & Technology, Selaqui, Dehradun during the Rabi season (2016) in India. The recorded data were analysed with Factorial Randomized Complete Block Design having sixteen treatments combining two factors (four each) like N0G0, N0G1, N0G2, N0G3, N1G0, N1G1, N1G2, N1G3, N2G0, N2G1, N2G2, N2G3, N3G0, N3G1, N3G2 and N3G3 which were replicated three times. The data were recorded for pre harvest parameters like Plant height, number of leaves per plant and plant canopy while post harvest observations like fresh weight of the whole plant, fresh weight of heads, diameter of head, thickness of head and yield of head and economic of production. The significantly superior results were observed with the treatment N1G3 (8Kg Nitrogen and 20ppm GA3 respectively) while minimum with control (N0G0).
