This document provides information on cabbage production. It discusses the botanical name and family of cabbage, its origin in France, and that its edible portion is the head developed from densely packed leaves. It outlines cabbage's growing conditions, including a temperature range of 13-16 degrees and pH of 7-7.5. It details the production process from seeding and nursery preparation to transplanting, spacing, fertilizer and irrigation application, and harvesting approximately 60-120 days later yielding 25-30 tons/hectare. It also lists major pests and diseases that affect cabbage and control methods.

2.  Botanical Name: Brassica oleraceae
 Family: Cruciferae
 Origin: France
 Edible Portion: Head – is developed by the
development of densly packed leaves around the
growing point.
 Sinigrin glucose is responsible for flavour in
cabbage(sulphur compound)
 Indole-3-Carbnol: Anticancer property

3.  Cabbage can be grown in cool environment. It is
annual crop but can be grown in warm environment by
providing low temperature.
 It best grow on temperature ranging from 13-16
degree. It is tolerant to frost.
 It is Rabi crop grown on Sept-Oct.
 Cabbages best grow on sandy loam having pH 7 to 7.5
 It can also be grown on loamy soil.

4.  It is propagated by the seed firstly. The seed rate for
cabbage is 500- 750 gm/ha.
 Nursery Preparation: 60 sq m area is sufficient for 1 ha
area. 5 x 1 x0.15m Nursery bed.
 15 x 1.5cm( depth).
 Transplanting: 3-4 week old seedling use for
transplanting.
 Old seedlings shifted into the main field.

5.  45 x 30cm, 60 x45 cm ( depend on variety) Flat bed.
 25- 30 ton FYM is applied on one hectare.
 160:80:80 kg NPK/ha.
 Irrigation is done with 8 to 10 days interval.
 When head fully developed, avoid irrigation.
 Weeding is done with 15 to 20 days interval.

6.  When head attain full size .Early variety 60 to 110 days
, late varieties 80 to 120 days. Head color changes from
dark green to light green.
 25-30 T/ha.
 Aphids, are soft bodied pests that can spread viruses.
 Beet Armyworm, can attack on cabbage, cauliflower and onion.
 Cutworms.
 Diamondback Moth.
 Cabbage white fly.

7.  Integrated pest management and integrated insect
management are highly recommended for the control of
insects and pests.
 Alternaria leaf spot.(fungal dis)
 Bacterial leaf spot.(bacterial dis)
 Bacterial soft rot.( bacterial dis)
 Blackleg. (Fungal dis)
 Black Rot.( fungal Dis
 Clubroot.( fungal dis)
 Downy Mildews.(fungal dis)
 Cabbage blight.(fungal dis)

8.  Use fungicide to control the fungal diseases.
 Use insecticides to control the insect diseases.
 Use pesticides to control the pest diseases.
