Abstract: A field experiment was conducted at College Farm, College of Horticulture, Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University, Jagudan, Gujarat in the rabi season of the year 2017-18 to study the Effect of different micronutrients and stage of their application on growth, yield and quality of cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with Factorial concept comprising of two factors. The first factor was stages of micronutrient application (S) i.e. s1 - at seedling stage (15 DAS), s2 - after transplanting (20 & 35 DAT) and s3 - at seedling stage (15 DAS) and after transplanting (20 & 35 DAT) and the second factor was micronutrients with eight levels viz., m0 - Zn 0 ppm + B 0 ppm + Mo 0 ppm, m1 - Zn 0 ppm + B 0 ppm + Mo 50 ppm, m2 - Zn 0 ppm + B 200 ppm + Mo 0 ppm, m3 - Zn 0 ppm + B 200 ppm + Mo 50 ppm, m4 - Zn 1000 ppm + B 0 ppm + Mo 0 ppm, m5 - Zn 1000 ppm + B 0 ppm + Mo 50 ppm, m6 - Zn 1000 ppm + B 200 ppm + Mo 0 ppm, m7 - Zn 1000 ppm + B 200 ppm + Mo 50 ppm. The treatments were replicated thrice. The individual effect of micronutrient application at different stages as well as their interaction effect on quality of cabbage cv. ‘Golden Acre’ was recorded. The results indicates that micronutrient application at seedling stage (15 DAS) and after transplanting (20 & 35 DAT) gave maximum diameter of head, volume of head and chlorophyll content (a, b & total) was observed higher due to this treatment. Higher dose of micronutrient application was found i.e. @ Zn 1000 ppm + B 200 ppm + Mo 50 ppm superior for quality parameters i.e. diameter of head, volume of head and chlorophyll content (a, b & total). The interaction effect of stage of micronutrient application and micronutrients were found not significant for all parameters of quality. Thus from the present investigation it could be concluded that for successful cultivation of cabbage, micronutrient should spray at seedling stage (15 DAS) and (20 & 35 DAT) for getting good quality. Micronutrients should applied @ Zn 1000 ppm + B 200 ppm + Mo 50 ppm for same.
