Abstract:
Intercropping under fragile environmental conditions makes sure the constancy in return and minimizes risk of crop damage due to weather difficulties. In the present, due to the raising population the need of increase in food production is one of the major problem, while in physical area under cultivation cannot be increased the productivity per unit area /unit time. This can be achieved by raising more crops in a year through multiple, relay and intercropping. Red cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata f. rubra) is an important vegetable just like others. It has high anti-oxidant property that immunes the system of human. For marketing purpose head size and yield of Red Cabbage matters the most. The N application influences these factors in Red Cabbage. The purple colour of Red Cabbage is due to anthocyanin content.

In the present, due to the raising population the need of increase in food production is one of the major problem, while in physical area under cultivation cannot be increased the productivity per unit area /unit time. This can be achieved by raising more crops in a year through multiple, relay and intercropping. Red cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata f. rubra) is an important vegetable just like others. It has high anti-oxidant property that immunes the system of human. For marketing purpose head size and yield of Red Cabbage matters the most. The N application influences these factors in Red Cabbage. The purple colour of Red Cabbage is due to anthocyanin content.
Hence, a field experiment entitled ‘ʻEffect of Intercropping on Yield of Red Cabbage with Leafy vegetables and Root cropsʼʼ was conducted during the October 2020 to March 2021, at the Horticulture Research Farm, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj. The experiment consisted of thirteen different combinations of treatments which was laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications.Results revealed that the treatment T9 (Red Cabbage + Radish) was found significantly superior over all other treatments with respect to yield characteristics. The yield parameters like head weight (0.83 kg), head girth (0.80 cm), head length (13.14 cm), TSS (4.30) and yield per plot (14.33 kg) and in intercrops, weight of radish (3.313 kg), weight of Carrot (1.36 kg), weight of Coriander leaves (0.78 kg) and weight of Spinach leaves (2.065 kg) respectively. However, spinach was harvested three times.
