Abstract
The present investigation was carried out during Rabi season of 2017-18 and 2018-19 respectively in Tirap district of Arunachal Pradesh to find out the best doses of Rock phosphate and FYM for cabbage production. Total three treatments-T1 (Rock phosphate@ 375 Kg/ha + FYM @ 10 Tonnes/ha), T2 (Rock phosphate@200 Kg/ha + FYM @ 10 Tonnes/ha) and T3 (Control -no use of any manure & fertilizer) were replicated thrice during both years of study. The T3 resulted maximum in all parameters viz. - maximum plant height (31.4 cm), average weight of head (304.7 gm), total yield (162.8 q/ha) and marketable yield (149.3 q/ha) while control yielded minimum (31.4 cm, 304.7 gm, 162.8 gm, 149.3 gm respectively).
