Influence of Tillage System, Plant Spacing, and Nitrogen on Head Weight, Yield, and Nutrient Concentration of Spring Cabbage1

Year: 1981

Type: article

Abstract: Spring cabbage plants ( Brassica oleracea L. Capitata group) grown by no-tillage culture yielded less than conventionally tilled plants when grown under the same N treatment and spacing. No-till yields could be compensated somewhat by increasing plant population and N, but head size was generally smaller than for conventionally tilled plants. Large head size was positively correlated with high N content of wrapper leaves in 3 of 4 years, while high Ca was associated with large plants or heads in 2 of 4 years.
