The response of cabbage cv Golden Acre to irrigation levels, plant spacing and graded doses of N was studied in clayey (Typic Chromustert) soil. The application of irrigation water at IW: CPE ratio 0.7 gave significantly higher yield. The yield increased with increase in the rate of N application, and 200 kg N gave significantly higher yield over 150 kg N/ha but at par with 250 kg N/ ha. The narrow spacing 30 cm × 30 cm gave significantly higher yield over 45 cm × 30 cm spacing. Highest cost: benefit ratio was observed at IW: CPE ratio of irrigation water 0.7 and 200 kg N/ha.
