“…Our result is in line with that of Roe and Cornforth (2000) who reported that higher dose (200kg N ha -1 ) of nitrogen and 25t ha -1 FYM produced higher wrapper head yield (78.56 t ha -1 ) than lower doses of the nutrient. kumar et al, (2002) also reported that the maximum wrapper head yield (81 t ha -1 ) was recorded in treatment receiving 250 kg N ha -1 and 20t ha -1 FYM in cabbage.…”

“…It is obvious that farmyard manure had a promising effect on all growth parameters including height and head diameter. These results are in agreement with those obtained by (Roe and Cornforth, 2000) that showed combined application of organic and inorganic fertilizer increase head height and head diameter growth of cabbage plants at certain level but decreases the head quality. Subhan (2008) carried out an experiment on cabbage and observed that application of 15t ha -1 FYM with 200kg N ha -1 increased head diameter (15.87cm) after planting.…”

“…Nitrogen fertilizers above 235 kg N alone, or in combination of organic fertilizers, did not increased significant marketable head weights. This variation was due to the availability of nutrients especially nitrogen and potassium and could be due to the improvement of soil water holding capacity as mentioned by Roe and Cornforth (2000). The reason suggested for such a response was that nitrogen and FYM which is a source of organic matter significantly increased growth parameters, which in return synthesized more plant metabolites thereby increasing yield.…”

Article InfoCabbage (Brassica oleracea L.) is the second most important vegetable crop in Ethiopia in area coverage as well as level of production next to red pepper. However, yield of the crop is often constrained by low and imbalanced nutrient supply. This study was conducted at the Bore Agricultural Research Center (BoARC) during the period from July 1, 2014 to December 2, 2014 cropping season to assess the response of N and FYM on growth and yield of cabbage. The treatments consisted of factorial combinations of five levels of N (0, 59,119, 235 and 294 kg N ha -1 ) and four levels of FYM (0, 3, 6 and 10 t ha -1 ) and were laid out in RCBD with three replications. The ANOVA results showed that interaction effect of N and FYM significantly (P<0.001) difference on plant height, number of expanded leaves, days to head initiation, days to 90% maturity, head height, head diameter, untrimmed head weight, trimmed head weight, yield with and without wrapper and biomass of yield. There was a Significance differences between the mean plant heights (43.2cm) of head cabbage observed versus FYM of (10 t ha -1 ) with each level of N (235 kg ha -1 ) for plant height. However, the combined effect of highest N (294 kg ha -1 ) and highest FYM (10 t ha -1 ) recorded maximum number of leaves (16.66), shortest days to head initiation (63.33) and early days to maturity (112). And also the interaction effect of both N and FYM (235 kg + 6 t ha -1 ), respectively was highly significantly (P<0.001) recorded highest head height (18.14cm), highest head diameter (17.03cm), highest untrimmed head weight (2296.67g), highest trimmed head weight (1766.67g), maximum (107.47 t ha -1 ) yield with wrapper head cabbage, highest head yield without wrapper (72.36 t ha -1 ) and maximum biomass yield (107.47 t ha -1 ) of head cabbage. There was an increasing trend in the yield without wrapper or marketable head yield parameter with the increasing in the rate till combined application of 235 kg N ha -1 from UREA and 6 t FYM ha -1 , but the yield declined above these combinations. Based on partial budget analysis the highest net benefit was obtained from treatment combinations of 235 kg N ha -1 with 6 t ha -1 with a marginal rate of return 2535.31%. The most attractive rates for the producers with low cost of production and higher benefits in this case were treatment combination of 235 kg N ha -1 with 6 t ha -1 . Generally results of the study suggested that head cabbage responded well to the combined application of N and FYM and application of 235 kg N ha -1 + 6 t FYM ha -1 can give optimum cabbage head yield in the study area.

“…Compost application can increase yields when used as a primary source of N at sufficiently high rates. Roe and Cornforth (2000) reported an N rate response to applied compost for muskmelon (Cucumis melo) and broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) crops, but not at economically feasible application rates.…”

Fertilization is the most expensive cultural practice for the increasing numbers of organic vegetable growers in the United States. Nitrogen (N) is the most important and costly nutrient to manage, and cost-effective N management practices are needed for efficient organic vegetable production. There is a wide array of organic N sources available, but they vary in cost, N content, and N availability. Compost and cover crops are commonly used sources of N for vegetables because they are relatively inexpensive and offer additional nutrients or soil improvement qualities in addition to N. Studies have shown that compost quality factors that affect N mineralization vary by source and among different batches from the same source. Compost carbon to N ratio should be equal to or less than 20:1 to assure net short-term mineralization. Cover crops also vary in N content and mineralization rate after incorporation. Leguminous cover crops decompose and release N more rapidly than grass or cereal cover crops at the preheading stage typically incorporated. Even the most efficient N-supplying composts, cover crops, or other organic N sources do not release appreciable N to a subsequent crop beyond 6 to 8 weeks from incorporation, and this burst of early N may not synchronize with N requirements for many vegetable crops. Other potential organic fertilizer N sources have been evaluated for vegetables, and they vary in N cost and N mineralization rate. Materials evaluated include seabird guano, liquid fish, feather meal, corn meal (Zea mays), blood meal, and liquid soybean meal (Glycine max) among others. Of those evaluated, feather meal, seabird guano, and liquid fish stand out as more economical organic sources of available N. Organic sources generally lack uniformity and are bulky, unstable, and inconsistent as a group, and this contributes to additional hidden management costs for organic growers. Liquid organic N sources for use in microirrigation systems may have additional disadvantages caused by loss of valuable nutrient N that is removed by filters.

“…Bu nedenle birim alanda yetiştirilen bitki sayısı ve elde edilen biyokütle ağırlıkları fazladır (Çıtak ve ark., 2006). Domates gibi yüksek değerli sebze bitkilerinden kompost uygulaması, çayır ve çimlerden elde edilen kompost uygulamasından daha ekonomik ve pratik olabilmektedir (Roe and Cornforth, 2000).…”
