Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The study was conducted on the performance of 25 cabbage varieties. The varieties Eiyu, Titan and Herculis showed better vegetative growth with bigger sized head and ultimately gave the higher yield (more than 80 tons /ha), whereas the varieties Y. R. Kenzan, Harvester Queen, K. K. Cross, K. Y. Cross and Exp. Hybrid 81 F₁₀showed medium vegetative growth ar.d produced medium high yield (More than 60 tons /ha). The variety Golden Acre matured within the shortest time (59 days) but due to smallest head size the yield was minimum (25 t/ha).

Keywords: Performance, Exotic cabbage varieties, Head size, Yield

Location: The central research station of Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Gazipur

Start Date: 00-00-1989

End Date: 00-00-1990

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Cabbage

Objectives:

To explore the possibility of finding out more suitable varieties of cabbage

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at the central research station of Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Gazipur, during 1989-90 growing season. Twenty five different varieties collected from different countries were included in this study. The experiment was laid out in the Randomized Complete Block Design and replicated three times. The unit plot size was 1.2 m x 5 m and spacing between rows and plants were 60 cm and 50 cm, respectively. Thirty days old seedlings were transplanted in the main field on 15 October 1989. Rates of application of cowdung, urea, TSP and MP were 14000, 90, 70 and 70 kg per hectare, respectively. During growing period of the crop, irrigation, weeding, mulching and plant protection measures were done as and when required. The. crop was harvested when the heads attained edible maturity. Harvest index was calculated as per method done in the case of potato.

Achievement/Findings:

The yield of the varieties under study ranged from 23.33 to 95.55 tons per hectare. Herculis produced the highest yield (95.55 t/ha) followed byTitan (82.22 t/ha) and Eiyu ( 81.48 t/ha) and ranked second highest. The varieties Eiyu, Titan and Herculis showed better vegetative growth with bigger sized head and ultimately gave the higher yield (more than 80 tons /ha), whereas the varieties Y. R. Kenzan, Harvester Queen, K. K. Cross, K. Y. Cross and Exp. Hybrid 81 F₁₀showed medium vegetative growth ar.d produced medium high yield (More than 60 tons /ha). The variety Golden Acre matured within the shortest time (59 days) but due to smallest head size the yield was minimum (25 t/ha).
