Abstract


A field experiment was conducted during winter season of 1998-99 on red sandy loam soil to study the effect of sulphur and molybdenum on cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.) with four levels of sulphur (0, 10. 25 and 50 kg S ha-1 ) and three levels of molybdenum (O. 1000 and 2000 g Mo ha-1 ). Yield and yield attributes of cabbage increased with application upto 25 kg S and 1000 g Mo ha-1 then decreased further with application of sulphur (at 50 kg S ha-1 ) and molybdenum (at 2000 Mo ha-1 ). The combined application of 25 kg and 1000 g Mo ha-1 recorded the maximum yield ( 63.19 t ha-1 ) of cabbage over other treatment combinations.
