A study was conducted on red cabbage at the Precision Farming Development Centre, Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth in Rahuri, Maharashtra, India. The research compared two growing environments: inside a polyhouse and in an open field. It also tested three different irrigation levels (0.90 ETc, 0.75 ETc, and 0.60 ETc) and three fertilizer application rates (125% of the recommended dose (RD), 100% RD, and 75% RD). The results showed that red cabbage yielded the best under polyhouse conditions with the highest irrigation level (0.90 ETc) and the highest fertilizer rate (125% RD). Additionally, the highest water use efficiency was achieved with a slightly lower irrigation level (0.75 ETc) but still with the highest fertilizer rate (125% RD) inside the polyhouse.
