Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The yield and yield components were largely influenced by different levels of irrigation and spacing. Irrigating cabbage crops at an interval of 12 days produced better results than in gating at the interva is of 7 and 17 days respetively. The gross yield was the highest at the spacing of 60.9 cm x 45. 7 cm but the highest marketable yield was recorded at the spacing of 60.9 cm x 60.9 cm. The application of irrigation water at the interval of 12 days in combination with the moderate spacing of 60.9 cm x 60.9 cm produced maximum marketable yield of cabbage.

End Date: 25-01-1982

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity:

Objectives:

To assess the influence of irrigation and spacing on growth and yield of cabbage.

Methodology:

The study was conducted at the Bangladesh Agr1cultural University Farm during the period from September 1981 to January 1982. The soil of the experi- mental plot was sandy loam. The cultivar used in this experiment was Hercules. The seeds were collecled From T. Sakata and Co. Japan. The experiment consisted of three levels of irrigation treatment viz. irrigation at an interval of seven days, 12 days and 17 days and a control (no irrigation). The seeds were sown on 19 September and transplanted at 21 October 1981. The plots were flooded with irrigation water according to the treatments, First irrigation was given after 21 days of transplanting and stop- ped before 12 days of harvesting, The three levels of spacings ware; 76. 2cm x60.9cm, 60.9x60.9cm and 60.9cmx45. 7cm. The factorial experiment was laid out in randomised complete block design with three replications. The size of 8 unit plot was 3. 1m x 1. 9m, Cowdung, mustard oilcake and triple superphosphate were applied at the rate of 18 tons, 275 kg and 61 kg respectively per hectare as preplantinq basal doses. The crop was top-dressed with urea (137 kg/ha) and muriate of potash (91 kg/ha) in two instalrnents after 29 and 40 days of translantmq. Topdressing was followed by irrigation. Weeding, mulching and other intercultural operations 'were done when required. Harvesting of mature heads were done on 25 January, 1982, The height of the plant diameter and thickness of the head, number of leaves per plant, gross and marketable yield were recorded. The data were analvssd sta- tisticallv and the signifcance of differences between the treatment means was evaluated by DMRT.

Achievement/Findings:

The highest marketable yield was obtained from the combined effect of irrigation at 12 days inrerval and 60. 1cm x 60. Icm spacing which was statistically identical with the irrigation treatments at intervals of 7 and 17 days at the spacing of 60. lcm x 60. lcm.
