Yield and Nutritional Quality of Cabbage as Affected by Nitrogen and Phosphorus Fertilization

Abstract

An experiment was conducted in field condition to study the effect of nitrogen-phosphorus fertilization on growth, yield and nutrient content of cabbage. The experiment was laid out in randomize block design with three replications. The yield and yield components were maximized by N3P2 fertilizer treatment. Nutrient content of cabbage varied with fertilizer treatment. The maximum amount of reducing sugar, ascorbic acid, phosphorus were found at the highest rate of N - P fertilization whereas accumulation of titrable acidity, iron, calcium were maximum at the rate of N2P2 treatment. However pH, ash content were more or less same throughout the experiment.

A Study of the Efficacy of Various Nutrient Sources on the Growth and Yield of Cabbage

“…(Khan, F., Khan, T., Namatullah, & Tajudin, 2015). Haque et al (2006) recorded an increase in head diameter of cabbage that had occurred with an increase in the use of N and P fertilizers.…”

Evolução das características da planta associadas à nutrição nitrogenada de repolho

“…No campo, a fertilização com N aumenta a produção (Huang et al, 2004;Aquino et al, 2005a;Din et al, 2007) e otimiza a qualidade de repolho (Aquino et al, 2005b;Haque et al, 2006). Escassez de N pode resultar em baixa produtividade e cabeças menores, por causa da reduzida área foliar (Cardoso & Hiraki, 2001;Torres et al, 2003).…”

Accumulation of Macronutrients in Cv. 'Astrus' Cabbage as Influenced by Nitrogen Dose and Plant Population

“…Several studies have been reported that concern N doses for cabbage plants, including Khan et al (2002), Aquino et al (2005aAquino et al ( , 2005b, Ekbladh et al (2007), Haque et al (2006), Machado et al (2006); Aquino et al (2009);Moreira et al (2011). However, none of these investigations analyzed the accumulation of macronutrients by cabbage plants as influenced by the plant population and N doses.…”
