| Popis: | Shade level is a predominant factor that greatly influences growth, quality and yield of exotic vegetables that are grown in low and mid country dry zone areas. Accordingly, a field trial was conducted to investigate the impact of shading on growth and yield of cabbage var. “Green Coronet” in Ampara District of Sri Lanka during the period of July to November 2020. The experiment was laid out in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four replicates. Levels of shades were defined in two treatments as open field condition (40% shade) and 70% shade levels. The growth measurements, plant height, the number of leaves and diameter of rosette were recorded at six and eight weeks after transplanting and Analysis of Variance was performed to determine significant differences among treatments (p< 0.05). Further, the head weight and yield were recorded at the harvesting stage and the results revealed that the cabbage plants grown at 70% shade level showed significantly (p |
