“…Application of S with NPK significantly increased the weight of loose leaves but delayed head formation and head maturity. The results are in full agreement with that of Haro and Sonoda (1981).…”

An investigation was carried out in the calcareous soil of Chapai Nawabganj belonging to the High Ganges River Floodplain during November 2008 to March 2009 to examine the effect of different macro and micronutrients (N, P, K, S, Zn, B and Mo at 150, 50, 100, 20, 3, 3 and 1 kg/ha, respectively) on the growth and yield of cabbage. Application of different nutrients exhibited significant influence on the growth and yield of cabbage. The highest plant spread (70.76 cm), height (37.89 cm), leaf length (37.83 cm), leaf breadth (27.13 cm), head thickness (12.85 cm), head diameter (23.02 cm), marketable head yield (76.53 t/ha) which is 191% increase over control), early head formation and maturity were recorded from the plot receiving N, P, K and B at the rate of 150, 50, 100 and 3 kg/ha, respectively. The treatment N, P, K and S showed the highest weight of loose leaves (640 g/plant) and decreased the weight of folded leaves or head weight, whereas, the treatment N, P, K and B increased the folded leaves or maximum head weight (1894.18 g/plant).

“…According to the ranking suggested by Tariq and Mott (2007), the B content in cabbages can be considered as adequate in all the treatments. Even after the changes caused by the addition of B, the Mg content of cabbages always remained in the range reported by Hara and Sonoda (1981).…”

Effect of the Boron Concentration in Irrigation Water on the Elemental Composition of Edible Parts of Tomato, Green Bean, Potato, and Cabbage Grown on Soils With Different Textures

The most important environmental source of boron (B) contamination is irrigation water. The data on the effect of B on the elemental composition in the edible parts of vegetables are scarce. A greenhouse pot experiment investigated the effect of irrigation water containing 0.1 and 0.5 mg/L B on the biomass, elemental (e.g., B, Mg, K, Fe, Cu, and Zn) composition, and photosynthetic parameters of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), green bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), potato (Solanum tuberosum), and cabbage (Brassica oleracea) plants grown on 10 kg of sand, silty sand, or silty soil. The biomass of the edible part was unaffected by B treatment. The soil type determined the effect of B irrigation on the elemental composition of vegetables. The B content increased by 19% in tomatoes grown on silty soil. The 0.1 mg/L B treatment facilitated tomato fruit ripening on all soils, and the 0.5 mg/L B treatment doubled its chlorophyll content index (CCI) on silty soil. The 0.5 mg/L B treatment negatively affected the nutritional value of green beans on all soils, decreasing the Fe and K contents by an average of 83 and 34%, respectively. The elemental composition of potato was unaffected by the treatments, but the CCI of potato leaves increased in the 0.5 mg/L B treatment by 26%. The B content was increased by 39% in cabbages grown on light-textured soils. In conclusion, B concentration of up to 0.5 mg/L in irrigation water had no significant beneficial or adverse effect on the investigated vegetables, but 0.1 mg/L B treatment could shorten tomato fruit maturation time on B-poor soils. The B levels in vegetables remained suitable for human consumption.

“…Elevated S levels were not observed to be problematic and further, S has been found to be essential in head formation of cabbage with Scontaining glucosinolates prevalent in a variety of cole crops [Brassica sp. (Hara and Sonoda, 1981;McKeown and Bakker, 2003)]. However, fertilizer source affected foliar Ca concentrations.…”

Georgia is a leading fresh market cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) producer. Current recommendations for bare-ground cabbage grown in the Coastal Plain of Georgia indicate 175 to 225 lb/acre nitrogen (N). Approximately one-third of N fertilizer is recommended at planting, with two or three additional side-dress applications during the season. Growers have begun banding liquid fertilizer between four and six times during the season to reduce N leaching and enhance productivity. To determine the validity of current recommendations as well as the efficacy of applying periodic liquid fertilizer throughout the growing season, field experiments were conducted in Tifton, GA in Fall 2016 and 2017 with the cabbage cultivar Cheers. Fertilizer N rates were 175, 200, 225, and 250 lb/acre N applied using equivalent preplant fertilizer (50 lb/acre N) with two posttransplant applications of a granular fertilizer (27–0P–0K–5Ca) or six applications of a liquid fertilizer (9N–0P–0K–11Ca). A factorial, randomized, complete block design was used. There were no interactions among fertilizer program, N rate, or year for cabbage yield or nutrient concentrations. Total yield was unaffected by the N rate. However, plants fertilized with the lowest N rate (175 lb/acre N) had the lowest yields from the first two harvests compared with the other N rates. Nutrient concentrations were affected by year, with 2017 having greater concentrations of most macronutrients compared with 2016. In conclusion, the application of 175 lb/acre N led to a potential delay in harvest, but all other N rates were equal. The application method did not impact yield or earliness, suggesting that current recommendations for fertilizer applications after planting cabbage in Georgia are adequate.
