Abstract


Cabbage belongs to the family cruciferae. Among the other vegetable cabbage is one of the easiest crops to establish and most of the people grow this crop in their home garden.  In the major vegetable-growing areas, it is also an essential economical and rotational crop. Cabbage is an important vegetable crop and it is one of favorite crop grown in kitchen garden because easy to rise. Cabbage is high in vitamins A, C, K, B1, B2, B6, calcium, dietary fiber, and protein whether eaten fresh in salads or boiled or cooked in stews and soups. Cabbage is commonly consumed as a cooked or stir-fried vegetable, or as a raw element in salads such as coleslaw and mixed salads. Cabbage growth and yield are known to be influenced by a variety of cultural practices and growing settings. Nutrition is a major determinant of cabbage growth and production. Production of cabbage could be enhanced through efficient use of applied both organic and inorganic fertilizer. When compared to chemical fertilizers, organic fertilizers (cow dung, poultry manure, and vermin-compost) resulted in better nutrient uptake. Due to decreasing soil fertility, vegetable crop yields decreased. Organic manure can help to keep soil fertility and crop production in check. It is true that the use of inorganic fertilizers for crops has a negative impact on soil health, but organic fertilizers do not have this issue. Neither chemical fertilizers nor organic manure can help achieve long-term crop yield on their own. Because of deterioration in soil physical, chemical, and biological qualities, high yield levels could not be sustained using simply balanced chemical fertilizers over time. Integrated nutrient management is the most effective method for ensuring long-term soil fertility and productivity of cabbage. The objective of this review is to review the effect of combined application of organic and inorganic fertilizer on cabbage and its economic importance’s.
