Impact of organic fertilizers on yield and nutrient uptake of cabbage (Brassica Oleracea var. capitata)

Abstract

Goal of the study was to investigate nutrient uptake, growth and yield of the cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) variety'Atlas-70'as influenced by the application of different organic fertilizers. Randomized complete block design (RCBD) comprising five treatments with three replications were executed to conduct the study. Treatments were T Absolute control. Results of the experiment showed that the same amount of N, P, K and S from cow dung, poultry manure and vermicompost showed significant differences (P≤0.05) on plant height, unfolded leaves, head circumference, marketable yield, total yield and nutrient content in cabbage. Organic fertilizers (cow dung, poultry manure and vermicompost) resulted better nutrient uptake as compared to the chemical fertilizers. However, vermicompost tended to be the potential organic source for higher yield and nutrient uptake of cabbage and thus is suitable substitute of the most commonly used nitrogen (urea) sources for the production of cabbage.

Effect of Organic Manures and Inorganic Fertilizers on Growth, Yield and Quality of Broccoli (Brassica oleraceae var. italica L.) cv. Green Magic

“…It was found that the treated treatments gave better growth over the control. These similar were recorded by Elizabeth et al [10] in Cauliflower, Reza et al [11] in Cabbage.…”

Effect of Integrated Nitrogen Management on Macronutrient Availability under Cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis L.)

“…Application of organic manures might have improved the soil environment, which encouraged proliferous root system resulting in better absorption of water and nutrients from lower layers and thus resulting in higher yield and nutrient uptake (Devi et al, 2017). Higher potassium uptake in all plots over the control might be due to the enhanced number of small root hairs resulting from more growth of plant which in turn increased the absorbing ability (Reza et al, 2016).…”

Efficacy of Organic and Inorganic Fertilizers on Growth, Yield and Nutrient Uptake of Cauliflower in Acidic Soil of Bangladesh

“…The lowest value for curd height of cauliflower (8.70 cm) was obtained from untreated control. Reza et al [26] reported that combined application of organic and inorganic fertilizers increased the head height of cabbage.…”

“…Due to the incorporation of organic and chemical fertilizers, the building up of reserved materials in leaves increased which advanced curd size. Reza et al [26] also stated that integrated use of organic and inorganic fertilizers improved the head circumference of cabbage.…”
