Effect of Sulphur and Molybdenum on Yield and Quality of Cabbage

摘要

A field experiment was conducted during 1998-99 to study the ndividual and interaction efect of sulphur and molybdenum on yield and quality parameters of cabbage. Application of sulphur alone @ 25 kg ha~(-1) and molybdenum alone @ 1kg ha~(-1) produced maximum yield of cabbage (58 .46t ha~(-1) and protein content (6.83%) in head .Whereas the maximum ascorbic acid(54.38mg 100g~(-1))obtained with 50 kg S ha~(-1) and 2 kg Mo ha~(-1). Combined application of 25kg S and 1 kg Mo ha~(-1) was still more beneficial to produce maximum yield and better quality of cabbage(63.19 t ha~(-1)) with fair amount of protein (7.25%)and ascorbic acid (49.12 mg 100 g~(-1)).
