A field experiment was conducted at Horticulture Research Farm, Tilak Dhari Post Graduate College, Jaunpur, Jaunpur Pradesh during 2021 to investigate the effects of organic manures and bio-fertilizers on the growth, yield, and quality of cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD)having ten treatments and three replications. The treatments werefarmyard manure (T1), vermicompost (T2), poultry manure (T3), neem cake (T4), Azotobacter (T5), PSB (T6), FYM + Azotobacter + PSB (T7), vermicompost + Azotobacter + PSB (T8), poultry manure + Azotobacter + PSB (T9), and neem cake + Azotobacter + PSB (T10). It was observed that with the application of Vermicompost + Azotobacter + PSB (T8) plant exhibited all round increased growth viz. plant height of (41.77cm), speared of plant (76.83 cm), stem girth (8.43 cm), and head girth (24.55 cm). This treatment (T8) was also effectively superior for to others in terms of producing maximum net weight of head (1527.86 g), head yield per plot (13.74 kg), head yield per ha. (687.16 q), staying of heads (10.94 days), shelf life (12.83 days), total soluble solid (6.91 0Brix) and days taken to head initiation. While in T3 treatment where poultry manure was applied showed low quality characteristic and least plant growth. According to the results above, T8 (Vermicompost + Azotobacter + PSB) was the most effective treatment in Jaunpur regions for the cultivar in study.
