Abstract

Present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of organic nutrient management practices on cabbage yield, nutrient uptake and soil properties at Horticulture Farm, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, MPUAT, Udaipur during winter season of 2020-21. The study applied randomized block design (RBD) with three replications to examine ten treatments that included different combinations of organic inputs against control (No manure). Results revealed that application of 100% RDN through enriched compost + fortified Panchagavya spray ( 4% ) at 10 to 20 days after transplanting and 15 days after 1st spray + fortified Jeevamrut (500 L ha-1) twice at 15-days interval was observed the maximum yield, nutrient uptake (NPK) and also increased soil microbial population (bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes) compared to all other treatments. These results provide some clues about organic management of cabbage without compromising n either yield or soil health-related parameters.
