Abstract: The experiment was conducted at the Main Horticulture Research Farm of P.G. College Ghazipur, U.P. during winter season of 2007-2008. The experiment consisting of 10 treatment combinations evaluated in RBD (Factorial) with three replications. The experimental findings revealed that the Plant height, Number of outer leaves, Dry weight of leaves, Stem diameter, Head diameter, Head volume, Number of wrapper leaves, Dry matter content of head, and yield were significantly higher while other characters, Fresh weight of leaves, Fresh weight of head and Dry weight of head were not significantly affected with the inoculation of bio-fertilizer. Treatment combination B1S4 (Half rec. dose N-P-K-+F.Y.M. @10 t ha-1 + Bio-fertilizer (P.S.B.), showed better response in respect of plant growth, yield and it’s attributes. However, maximum yield 543.30 qha-1 was obtained with the application of Half recommended dose of N-P-K-+ F.Y.M. @ 10 t ha-1+Bio-fertilizer (P.S.B.) followed by B0S4 Half rec. dose N-P-K-+F.Y.M. @10 t ha-1 while minimum yield was recorded under B0S3 Neem Cake@5q ha-1. Based on findings it may be recommended that the combination of organic and inorganic fertilizers ensure higher growth and yield of cabbage.
