Abstract
Organic fertilizer (OF) has positive effects on soil, especially soil fertility and productivity. Two experiments were conducted at the farmer’s field of Mymensingh and Jamalpur to observe the effect of organic fertilizer on cabbage production during rabi season 2018. There were seven fertilizer treatments viz: T1: RCF (N150 P40 K100 S16 Kg ha-1), T2: 85% RCF, T3: 70% RCF, T4: 85% RCF + 3 t ha-1 OF, T5: 85% RCF + 1 t ha-1 OF, T6: 70% RCF + 3 t ha-1 OF and T7: 70% RCF + 1 t ha-1 OF. The experiments were laid out in a RCBD (Randomized Complete Block Design) with three replications. The average fresh yield at Mymensingh ranged from 34.5 to 60.0 t ha-1 with the highest yield of 60.0 t ha-1 from treatment T4 (85% RCF + 3 t ha-1 OF). At Jamalpur, the average yield ranged from 31.5 to 56.3 t ha-1 and the highest yield of 56.3 t ha-1 was recorded from treatment T4 (85% RCF + 3 t ha-1 OF). The lowest yield was found from treatment T3 in both locations. The percent fresh yield increased over control (T1), was 42.85 and 40.04 in Mymensingh and Jamalpur, respectively. The highest gross margin is Tk. 534507, which was obtained from treatment T4 (85% RCF + 3 t ha-1 organic fertilizer). The highest MBCR 3.05 (average of two locations) was obtained from the same treatment T4 (85% RCF + 1 t ha-1 organic fertilizer). The result indicated that applying organic fertilizer and 85% recommended dose of chemical fertilizer is more profitable than applying chemical fertilizers only.
