“…This result is similar to researchers who reported significant increases in plant growth and quality components and stems with the addition of farmyard manure fertilizer rates, as these components are familiar with the yield [ 58 ]. Significant increments in the diameter and compactness of the heads were found when fertilized with farmyard manure fertilizer [ 59 ]. Additionally, cabbage fertilized with farmyard manure fertilizer revealed a significant change in height, head length and diameter, and compactness index [ 9 ].…”

“…The number of buds together with the farmyard manure fertilizer rate has considerable sustenance on the portion of head class from small to large (0.5–1.5 kg) [ 27 ]. High-density cabbage cultivation results in a more uniform head size, which is an important and desired factor for a single plant harvest, and lighter green color outer leaves, which are preferred by consumers [ 59 ]. The impact of plant spacing and fertilizer composition on different vegetable crops has also been reported by several researchers.…”

Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.) is a popular leafy vegetable in Ethiopia. However, the production and productivity of the crop are often constrained by several factors, such as deprived soil fertility and poor agronomic practices. Thus, a study was conducted in two locations in the East Gojjam zone of northwestern Ethiopia during the 2021/2022 cropping season to evaluate the effect of bud numbers and farmyard manure fertilizer rates on the growth and yield components of cabbage. Three numbers of cabbage buds (1, 2, and 3) and four levels of farmyard manure (0, 2.5, 5, and 7.5 tons/ha) were laid out in a 3 × 4 factorial arrangement in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Data on yield and quality were recorded and subjected to analysis of variance. The results revealed that growth, yield, and quality components were significantly influenced by the interaction effects of bud number and farmyard manure fertilizer rate. In both locations, the highest marketable (41.8 tons/ha) and total (43.1 tons/ha) yields were attained from the combined effects of 2 buds of cabbage and 5 tons of farmyard manure. The highest medium-sized heads (31.8 tons/ha) of cabbage were also recorded from the combination of 2 buds with 5 tons of farmyard manure. Moreover, the combined effects of 2 buds and 5 tons of farmyard manure showed the highest net benefit (5,679.03 US dollars) over the other treatments at the two locations. Hence, based on the results of the study, the combination of 2 buds and 5 tons of farmyard manure fertilizer can be suggested for the economical production of cabbage in northwestern Ethiopia and similar environments.

“…In addition, the level of nitrogen is reported to lead to a higher dry matter content in the shoots than in the roots [ 43 ]. Experts conducting research identified a strong correlation between nitrogen fertilizer application and cabbage quality, recommending 242 kg of NPS and 79 kg of urea for cabbage cultivation in Ethiopia [ 44 ]. Cabbage is harmful to light frost and is attacked by many pests and diseases ( Figure 3 ) [ 45 ].…”

“…However, owing to the scarcity and high cost of chemical fertilizers, most small-scale farmers in the country employ fertilizer levels lower than the recommended rate [ 11 ]. While the ideal yield is determined by applying 79 kg/ha, there has not been enough research into how varying rates of N-fertilizer application affect the yield and yield components of cabbage [ 12 ]. Hence, the yield obtained was reported to be low (6–20 tons/ha) [ 13 ].…”

A Systematic Review on Effects of Nitrogen Fertilizer Levels on Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.) Production in Ethiopia

Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.) holds significant agricultural and nutritional importance in Ethiopia; yet, its production faces challenges, including suboptimal nitrogen fertilizer management. The aim of this review was to review the possible effect of nitrogen fertilizer levels on the production of cabbage in Ethiopia. Nitrogen fertilization significantly influences cabbage yield and quality. Moderate to high levels of nitrogen application enhance plant growth, leaf area, head weight, and yield. However, excessive nitrogen levels can lead to adverse effects such as delayed maturity, increased susceptibility to pests and diseases, and reduced postharvest quality. In Ethiopia, small-scale farmers use different nitrogen levels for cabbage cultivation. In Ethiopia, NPSB or NPSBZN fertilizers are widely employed for the growing of various crops such as cabbage. 242 kg of NPS and 79 kg of urea are the blanket recommendation for the current production of cabbage in Ethiopia. The existing rate is not conducive for farmers. Therefore, small-scale farmers ought to utilize an optimal and cost-effective nitrogen rate to boost the cabbage yield. Furthermore, the effectiveness of nitrogen fertilization is influenced by various factors including the soil type, climate, cabbage variety, and agronomic practices. Integrated nutrient management approaches, combining nitrogen fertilizers with organic amendments or other nutrients, have shown promise in optimizing cabbage production while minimizing environmental impacts. The government ought to heed suggestions concerning soil characteristics such as the soil type, fertility, and additional factors such as the soil pH level and soil moisture contents.

“…D. Paulus (2019) identified that with different soil moisture supply, weather conditions and hybrid characteristics, the weight of a napa cabbage head can vary by 5.5-27.5%. S. Teshome (2020) notes that a different fertiliser system leads to an increase in the head weight of this crop by 52.5%. In addition, during the period of mass maturation, a continuous harvest of napa cabbage is conducted and fluctuations in the mass of heads in the field can be substantial.…”

The investigation of the issue of extending the period of consumption of fresh napa cabbage with different head weights due to the use of polymer films is relevant. The purpose of the study was to experimentally substantiate measures to extend the consumption of napa cabbage. The products were grown and stored on a farm. Studies with napa cabbage heads were conducted using the laboratory method and the method of mathematical statistics. It is established that napa cabbage loses up to 10% of its mass during storage for 20 days of storage. Individual packaging of heads in stretch film, in comparison with storage in open form, allowed for reducing the natural loss of their mass by half, increasing the storage period to 90 days. Among the hybrids examined, the best keeping properties were identified in a hybrid characterised by a high content of dry and dry soluble substances, vitamin C, and total sugar. When examining the shelf life of napa cabbage, depending on the weight of the head, it is identified that the stretch film extends the duration of storage of heads weighing 350-700 and 750-900 g to 70 days. Natural weight loss reaches 10.8%. Heads weighing more than 900 g with such packaging are stored for 90 days with natural losses of 8.8%. Inserts made of polyethylene film with a thickness of 40 microns extended the storage time of cabbage heads weighing 350-700 g to 80 days with a weight loss of 10.1%. Heads weighing 750-900 and more than 900 g were stored for 90 days with natural mass losses of 10 and 7.8%, respectively. Storage of a mixture of napa cabbage heads of different weights in the stretch film increased the storage period to 80 days, and in polyethylene film – to 90 days with a weight loss of about 10%. These results can be used by researchers in the trade industry to extend the storage period of fruits and vegetables
