Abstract
A
field experiment was under taken with objective to examine the effects of
different transplanting time on growth, yield and quality of various cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.) varieties and
hybrids in mild-tropical climate of Mizoram. All the parameters under study
were significantly affected by both cultivars and transplanting dates. Maximum
yield potential of various cultivars was realised by transplanting of cabbage
seedlings on 1st December. The most
compact head was observed for INDAM-1299 followed by Golden Acre, NS-160,
KGMR-1 and lowest in Ryozeki. The head compactness is very important parameter
which is directly associated with the transportability, marketability,
shelf-life and consumers’ preference. The cultivars KGMR-1 and Golden Acre (both bred by IARI Regional
Station, Katrain, Himachal Pradesh) showed better head yield potential, while
KGMR-1 and Ryozeki produced higher plant biomass which could be use during
summer and rainy seasons especially for leaf production.
Key words: Cabbage, cultivars, date of
transplanting, yield, Mizoram
