Abstract: The experiment was conducted to observe the growth, yield and pest infestation in cabbage. The experiment was conducted with three different treatments viz. PEN without pesticides; no PEN with pesticides and No PEN no pesticides (control) and six varieties of cabbage namely Atlas-70, KY-Cross, Green coronet, Red Queen, Lourels and Noresh-101. The growth, yield and pest infestation had significant variation with varieties and different treatments. The maximum plant height (40.15 cm), maximum diameter of head (19.53 cm), maximum marketable yield (55.09 ton/ha) were observed from PEN without pesticides; whereas the minimum plant height (38.0 cm), minimum diameter of head (19.33 cm), minimum marketable yield (39.56 ton/ha) were observed from control treatment. The minimum pest infestation in plants (8.33), minimum total weight (1.65 kg) of cabbage, minimum fresh weight (1.26 kg), minimum loose leaves number (12.52), minimum weight of loose leaves (0.39 kg), minimum head thickness (13.23 cm) were also observed from T1. On the other hand, the maximum plant infestation number (26.78) was recorded from T3 and maximum total weight (1.73 kg) of cabbage, maximum fresh weight of head (1.32 kg), maximum number of loose leaves (13.69), maximum weight of loose leaves (0.41 kg) per plant, maximum head diameter (13.49 cm) were recorded from T2. Some varieties show significant difference in case of infestation and individual weight of cabbage. The number of infested plant and the head infestation percentage were the lowest in Noresh-101 but the individual cabbage weight and total marketable yield were the highest in Atlas-70 under PEN without pesticides.
