Abstract

The present study was carried out during summer, rainy (kharif), winter (rabi) seasons of 2022–23 at Dr Yashwant Singh Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry Regional Horticultural Research and Training Station, Jachh, Nurpur, Kangra, Himachal Pradesh to evaluate the cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.) hybrids for round the year production in low hill conditions of Himachal Pradesh. The experiment was laid out in a factorial randomized complete block design (RCBD-Factorial) in three replications. Five commercial hybrids of cabbage viz. Pusa Cabbage-1 (V1), Pusa Hybrid-81 (V2), Pusa Hybrid-82 (V3), Glorious (V4) and Field Rocket Plus (V5) were tested for their suitability for growing in three seasons, viz. rainy (kharif) season (S₁), winter (rabi) season (S₂) and summer season (S₃). Among the hybrids, Pusa Hybrid-82 (V₃) performed best over other hybrids, while among seasons; rabi (S₂) was found most suitable for cabbage cultivation in the low hill areas of Himachal Pradesh. In overall, Pusa Hybrid-82 (V₃) recorded highest yield (454.52 q/ha and 398.57 q/ha) during the rabi (S₂) and summer season (S₃), respectively. On the other hand, highest yield (159.35 q/ha) during the rainy season was observed in Pusa Hybrid-81 (V₂) and this hybrid was also found to have highest ‘vitamin C’ content during all three seasons of study (kharif, 12.23 mg/100 g; rabi, 17.97 mg/100 g and Summer, 14.27 mg/100 g). Therefore, based on the present studies ‘Pusa Hybrid-82 (rabi and summer seasons) and Pusa Hybrid-81 (kharif) can be recommended for round the year production of cabbage in low hill conditions of Himachal Pradesh.
