A field experiment was carried out on Golden Acre during rabi season of 2021-22 and 2022-23 at College farm, College of Horticulture, Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University, Jagudan, Dist. Mehsana, Gujarat, India. Now a days directly organic farming is not affordable to the grower so we have to go on integrated concept of farming. Present investigation comprising three factors viz., three levels of fertilizer viz., 60 % RDF (f1), 80 % RDF (f2) and 100 % RDF (f3), biostimulant with three levels viz., Jeevamrut (b1), Vermiwash (b2) and Bio NPK Consortium (b3) and three levels of novel organic liquid nutrient viz., 1.0 % (n1), 1.5 % (n2) and 2.0 % (n3). Thus, there were total 27 treatment combinations under studyAmong three fertilizer levels of chemical source application of 100% RDF (f1) helped in obtaining maximum values for growth parameters viz., plant height at 30 DAT (cm), plant height at harvest (cm), number of leaves per plant at harvest while, minimum days taken for initiation of head after transplanting, days taken for edible maturity of head after transplanting and maximum value of yield parameters i.e., average weight of head (g), yield per plot (kg), yield per hectare (t). Among three biostimulants application of jeevamrut (b1)showed maximum values for growth parameters viz., plant height at harvest (cm), number of leaves per plant at harvest, yield parameters i.e., average weight of head (g), yield per plot (kg), yield per hectare (t)and among three different novel culture application of novel organic liquid nutrient @ 2.0 % (n3)showed maximum values for growth parameters viz., plant height at harvest (cm), number of leaves per plant at harvest, yield parameters i.e., average weight of head (g), yield per plot (kg), yield per hectare (t). While, interaction effect between fertilizer levels and biostimulant (f × b) shows significantly maximum plant height at harvest (cm), number of leaves per plant at harvest, average weight of head (g), yield per plot (kg) and yield per hectare (t) with the treatment combination of 100 % RDF + jeevamtut (f3b1).

Cabbage, Biostimulant, Jeevamrut, Vermiwash, Bio NPK Consortium, novel organic liquid nutrient

On the basis of experimental evidence, higher growth and yield from cabbage cultivation can be obtained with the combined application of 100% recommended dose of fertilizer with the soil application of jeevamrut @ 500 l/ha drenching at 15, 30, 45 and 60 DAT and foliar spray @ 2.0 % of novel organic liquid nutrient at 20 and 40 DAT.
