| Popis: | Present research work was conducted during 2009–2010 and 2010–2011 at Horticulture Research Station, Mondouri, BCKVV, Nadia, West Bengal (India) to study the influence of integrated nutrient management using chemical fertilizers, bio-fertilizers and micro-nutrient (boron) on growth, yield and quality of red cabbage. The study revealed that growth attributing characters viz., plant height and spread were higher (42.83 and 48.63 cm, respectively) with application of recommended NPK [120:60:60 kg ha−1] + Azotobacter chroococcum [@ 10 kg ha−1] + boron [@ 1 kg ha−1]. Higher head weight, head diameter and projected yield of 1375 g, 52.47 cm and 37.02 tonnes ha−1, respectively, was achieved with the use of recommended NPK + A. chroococcum + phosphate solublizing bacterium Bacillus polymyxa + boron. The dry matter, vitamin C, total sugar and anthocyanin contents in red cabbage also improved when integrated nutrient management was followed. |
