Impact on yield potential of cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata l.) cv. Pusa Drum head due to boron, molybdenum and spacing

Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of boron, molybdenum and spacing on growth and yield of cabbage in the Rabi season. The study was carried out during the rabi of 2013-14 and 2014-15. Two spacing 60 x 60 (S1) and 60 x 45 (S2) and three levels of each boron and molybdenum i.e. Boron @ 0%, Boron @ 0.25%, Boron @ 0.5%, and Molybdenum @ 0%, Molybdenum @ 0.25% and Molybdenum @ 0.5% were in FRBD with three replications. Higher yield 505 qha-1 achieved using 60 x 45 cm planting distance against 440 qha-1 in 60 x 60 cm planting distance. Among the boron levels 0.5% boric acid increased the yield character and maximize up to 495.18 qha-1 and 469.29 qha-1 in case of molybdenum @ 0.5%.
