Abstract:
The field experiment was conducted at the Horticulture Farm, Sher-e-Bangla
Agricultural University (SAU), Dhaka during the period from 15 October, 2013
to 23 February, 2014 to evaluate the effect of different levels of vermicompost
on the growth and yield of cabbage. The experiment comprised of two different
factors such as Factor A: Three varieties viz; V
1
: Atlas 70, V
: Autumn Queen
and V
3
: Profit and Factor B: Four vermicompost levels; VC
0
2
: control, VC
: 3.6
t/ha, VC
2
: 7.2 t/ha, and VC
: 10.8 t/ha of vermicompost. The experiment was
set up in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications.
There were 12 treatment combinations. In case of varieties, Autumn Queen
gave the highest (39.17 t/ha) yield and the lowest (36.84 t/ha) from Atlas 70.
For vermicompost levels, VC
3
gave the highest (64.78 t/ha) yield and lowest
(14.79t/ha) from VC
0
3
. For interaction effect, V
2
VC
gave the highest (71.80 t
/ha) yield and the lowest (14.44 t/ ha) from V
3
VC
3
. So, Autumn Queen with
vermicompost level 10.8 t/ha gave the best performance.
