Abstract:
The experiment was conducted during October 2017 to February 2018 in the
Horticultural farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University. The experiment
consisted of two factors: Factor A: Vermicompost (3 levels) as- Vr
0
: No
vermicompost (control condition); Vr
1
: 4 ton vermicompost/ha, Vr
2
: 8 ton
vermicompost/ha; and Factor B: Plant vitalizer (4 levels) as- Vi
0
: No vitalizer
(control condition), Vi
1
: 2 ml vitalizer/l water, Vi
2
: 4 ml vitalizer/l water and Vi
3
:
6 ml vitalizer/l water. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete
Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Different levels of vermicompost
and plant vitalizer influenced significantly on most of the recorded parameters.
In case of different levels of vermicompost, the highest marketable yield (52.30
t/ha) was observed from Vr
2
treatment, while the lowest (38.47 t/ha) from Vr
0
treatment. For different levels of plant vitalizer, the highest marketable yield
(51.62 t/ha) was found from Vi
3
, whereas the lowest (39.62 t/ha) from Vi
0
treatment. The highest marketable yield (33.83 t/ha) was observed from Vr
2
,
while the lowest (58.77 t/ha) from Vr
0
Vi
0
treatment combination. The highest
benefit cost ratio (2.64) was found from Vr
2
Vi
3
and the lowest (1.67) was
obtained from Vr
0
Vi
0
. So, combination of 8 ton vermicompost/ha and foliar
application of 6 ml vitalizer/l water may be used for red cabbage cultivation.
