Abstract:

Evaluation of exotic head cabbage varieties was conducted to select the most adaptable variety which was/were high yielder, disease and insect tolerant and best fit for the study area. The field experiment was conducted during the 2021 and 2022 rainy season at three locations. Randomized complete block design with three replications were used; each plot consisted of six rows and seven plants per row having spacing of 40 cm x 50 cm (intra and inter row) respectively, on a plot size of 2.8m x 3m (Width and length respectively). Cabbage varieties those were commercially available on the market Rossen, Royal, Monarch, Green and Delta was used in the study. Widely cultivated variety Bakker brother was included as check. From this experiment the combined analysis over locations and years indicated that almost all phenological, growth, yield and yield components of cabbage are significantly influenced due to varieties. From the ANOVA analysis the longest days to head initiation (70.93) was recorded for Delta seed variety, while the minimum (63.13) was attained by Monarch seed variety. In terms of days to 90 % head maturity the highest record (110) was recorded from Delta seed variety, while the lowest (105.5) was from royal seed varieties. The maximum gross head yield (118.11 ton/ha) was recorded from the variety green seed followed by Monarch seed variety (111.21 ton/ha), while the smallest number (88.72 ton/ha) was from Bakker brothers variety. Similarly the highest marketable yield (94.15 ton/ha) was green seed variety, the next also from monarch seed variety (85.42 ton/ha) and the minimum record (61.57 ton/ha) was from Bakker brothers variety. Finally from this experiment we get the result that Green seed and Monarch seed variety showed best performance in almost all tested agronomic parameters over the tested varieties, Therefore these two exotic head cabbage varieties were recommended for the study area and similar agro-ecologies.
