Cabbage yield increased after treatment with Nousbo Controlled Release Fertilizer in India. Research summary

 

 

(Summary of the study of Nousbo CRF 25-4-8 effect on Cabbage growth and yield performances in India)

 

 

 

 

Cabbage feed on water and nutrients in the soil. But sometimes, the natural nutrient-content of the soil is not enough. Basal application of controlled released fertilizer per plant can be done in order to continuously provide required amount of nutrients for crop needs to grow better and produce larger yield. The application of NOUSBO controlled release fertilizer has the ability to provide nutrients in a controlled manner. Therefore CRF 25-4-8 was evaluated for its efficacy as one-time application product for complete nutrient supply for Cabbage from March to July, 2019 in two locations in India: Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences (SHUATS) and Bhiskuri Farmer’s Village, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India.

Nousbo CRF 25-4-8 is a controlled release fertilizer with granules coated with material that can control the rate, pattern and duration of plant nutrient release. CRF 25-4-8 was evaluated for its efficacy as one-time application product for complete nutrient supply for Cabbage. The conventional fertilizers that were used for the control were Urea, DAP, and MOP at the rate of 266kg/ha, 130kg/ha, and 130kg/ha, respectively. Urea was applied in 2 split dosages (1st at transplanting, and 2nd at 30 DAT). DAP and MOP were applied at transplanting in full dose. CRF 25-4-8 was applied once at basal through dibbling at the rate of 3, 4 and 5g/plant. Growth parameters such days to head formation, plant height at heading stage, average weight of head (g), computed yield in tons per hectare were assessed using 10 sample plants. Results are summarized in the following table.

 

 

 

 

Yield and growth parameters of Cabbage affected by various kinds of fertilizers in SHUATS and Bhiskuri Village

 

 

 

 

 

The data from SHUATS showed that early head formation can be obtained by the application of CRF at 4 and 5 g/plant. The application of CRF at the rate of 4 g/plant or 5 g/plant performed better in producing Cabbage yield per plot. Highest weight of marketable cabbage heads were harvested from plants grown on the CRF treated plots at the rate of 4-5 g/plant. In Bhiskuri location both CRF applications of 4g/plant and 5g/plant were significantly different from that of the conventional fertilizer applied plot having relative advantage of 43.5% and 66.9% for CRF treatments of 4g/plant and 5g/plant, respectively.

Based on the results of the study, it may be concluded that substitution of conventional fertilizers has influence on days to head formation, plant height at heading stage, average weight of 10 cabbage heads, marketable yield/plot and yield/ha of cabbage heads. Highest cabbage head yield can be attained by application of controlled release fertilizer at the rate of 4 to 5 g/plant.
