Effect of Different Level of GA₃ on Growth and Yield of Cabbage

Abstract

The research work was conducted to study the effect of GA₃ on growth and yield of cabbage. Single factor experiment consisted of four concentrations of GA₃, viz., 0, 25, 50 and 75 ppm. Significantly the minimum number of days to head formation (43.54 days) and maturity (69.95 days) was recorded with 50 ppm GA₃ and 50 ppm GA₃ gave the highest diameter (23.81 cm) of cabbage head while the lowest diameter (17.89 cm) of cabbage head was found in control (0 ppm GA₃) treatment. The application of different concentrations of GA₃ as influenced independently on the growth and yield of cabbage. Significantly the highest yield (45.22 kg/plot and 104.66 t/ha) was found from 50 ppm GA₃.
