| Summary: | This research determined the effects of different spacing on cabbage growth and yield at the Kabale University research garden, Faculty of Agriculture and Environmental Science. The main objective of the study was to investigate the effect of different spacing parameters on cabbage growth and yield optimization in terms of head size and weight. The study involved selecting the site and the site had a gentle slope with well-drained loamy soils. A 10 by 10m plot was allocated for my research. Seedbed preparation was done, and it involved primary tillage and secondary tillage, other agronomic practices were also carried out to ensure that cabbages obtained proper growth conditions. Gloria cabbage was transplanted and then planted in plots of 4 meters each with different spacing treatments (60×60), (60×45), (45×45) and (30×30). This helped in comparing the growth and yield for the four treatments The findings of the study showed that there was significant variation in growth and yield due to different spacing parameters. After three months harvesting was done for all four plots and results were analyzed to determine the most spacing configuration to optimize yield. Treatment T2(60×45) had the best cabbages in terms of head size and weight and T4 had the least head weight and size due to closest spacing which resulted in much competition between plants. The study recommends the use of a spacing of 60×45 for optimal yield of Gloria variety of Cabbage. |
