Response of Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.) Cultivar “Golden Acre” to Irrigation Intervals and Different Types of Mulches
Journal Title: Journal of Experimental Agriculture International - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 4
Abstract
A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of irrigation intervals and mulches on growth and yield of cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.)” during Rabi season of 2015-16 at Horticulture Farm, S.K.N. College of Agriculture, Jobner. The experiment consisted of sixteen treatment combinations with four irrigation intervals (6, 9, 12 and 15 days) and four types of mulches (control, white polythene, black polythene and mustard straw) in randomized block design with three replications. The results of study clearly indicated that application of irrigation at 9 days interval as well as black polythene mulch significantly increased the growth parameters like (plant height, number of leaves, plant spread, leaf area and total chlorophyll content in leaves) and yield (head yield/plot, head yield/hectare) of cabbage. The interaction effect between irrigation at 9 days interval along with black polythene mulch was found statically at par to application of irrigation at 12 days interval along with mustard straw mulch with respect to head yield kg/plot (11.33 kg/plot) and yield q/ha (349.63 q/ha).
