Vegetative growth of cabbage in relation to sowing time, plant spacing and NPK grown under different localities of Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan

摘要

Experiments were conducted to determine the proper sowing time, fertilizer requirement and appropriate spacing for cabbage cultivar viz. Golden Acre. Results revealed that sowing dates, plant spacing and NPK application significantly influenced various growth characteristics of cabbage. Number of leaves increased with delayed planting while head diameter decreased. Application of fertilizer increased the number of leaves per plant, diameter and weight of cabbage head. Close spacing (20x40cm) was best for higher cabbage yield.
