Varying levels of chemical fertilizers i.e. NPK and vermicompost significantly influenced the yield attributing characters and growth and biomass production in cabbage (Brassica oleraceae var.capitata) cv. Pride of India. There were six treatments (T: control i,e without any fertilizer; T: NPK @140:140:140 kg/ha; T: NPK@105:105:105 kg/ha + Vermicompost @ 1 ton/ha; T: NPK@70:70:70 kg/ha + Vermicompost @ 2tons/ha; T: NPK@35:35:35 kg/ha + Vermicompost @ 3 tons/ha; T: Vermicompost @ 4 tons/ha) each replicated four times. A maximum of 58.67% increase in yield over control was observed in a combined application of NPK and vermicompost in halves of their recommended doses.
