Kiremit seasons under rain fed condition and the area receives 1150 mm average annual rainfall and the soil is acidic

Four hybrid head cabbage varieties Landini, Victoria 500 and widely cultivated Copehagen market arranged in
complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Results show that a wide range of variation was observed
among cabbage genotypes for yield and quality parameters. Landini variety had the highest head weight (2.86 kg, 2.9
kg), marketable yield (51 t/ha, 52.08 t/ha) and head diameter (24.36 cm, 26.91 cm) followed by victoria variety in
