abstract
Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.) is one of the most important cool season leafy vegetables in India, as well as in the world, belonging to the family Cruciferae. The investigation entitled Effect of different planting dates on growth, yield and quality of Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) hybrids was carried out in rabi season at Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture Technology And Sciences Prayagraj. Study included four planting dates (15^th September, 01^st, 15^th and 30^th October) and three varieties (TMCH20-009, TMCH20-011 and POLO6640) each replicated thrice in Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD). Planting dates and different hybrids had significantly influenced the growth, yield and quality parameters at all the growth stages. Among all the treatment combinations, treatment T₈ (15 October + TMCH20-011) recorded significantly better plant height, number leaves per plant recorded. Among yield and yield attributing characters significantly better days to taken head initiation, net head weight polar diameter were recorded.
