Effect of foliar application of various micronutrients on yield and economics of cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.)

A field experimented was conducted at Vegetable Research Farm (South Block), Department of Horticulture, Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh during winter season of 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 to study the effect of foliar application of various micronutrients on yield and economics of cabbage. The results reveals that the maximum head yield of cabbage (21.32, 24.16 and 22.74 kg during 2017-18, 2018-19 and pooled analysis, respectively) and maximum gross returns (₹ 221640.00), net returns (₹ 174625.00) and B: C ratio of the magnitude 3.71 was obtained with application of (T13) B-20 @ 0.075% + Mo @ 0.45% followed by application of (T16) B-20 @ 0.100% + Mo @ 0.45% during both the years as well as pooled analysis. However, least value of head yield, gross returns, net returns and B:C ratio were observed with (T1) control.
