The influence of macro- and micronutrients on the yield and quality of white cabbage in the conditions of forest-steppe of Western Siberia

As a working hypothesis the assumption was made that at sufficient level of mineral nutrition highly productive cabbage varieties could realize genetic potential in efficiency and quality. The research objective was studying the influence of macro- and microfertilizers on the productivity of cabbage and its quality. The research in field small-plot experiment put on irrigation soils of suburban farm "Ovoshchevod" of Omsk Region was executed. The soil of the experimental plot was common chernozem medium-thick low-humus heavy-loamy. The objects of the research were the variety of white cabbage "Podarok"(Brassica oleracea L. convar. capitata var. alba DC) and macro- and microfertilizers. Two methods of researches were used: field and laboratory. The scheme of the experiment included nine variants for applying a complete mineral fertilizer, copper and molybdenum in various doses and combinations. Soil analysis and biochemical analysis of cabbage were carried out. Studies showed that the use of mineral fertilizers on common chernozem on irrigated back-ground had increased the yield of cabbage by 4...
