Abstract:Effects of nitrogen fertilizer(160 kg/ha, 320 kg/ha and 480 kg/ha) on growth and yield of Chinese cabbage were studied in this paper using randomized block design. Two Chinese cabbage cultivars, ‘Fengkang78’ and ‘Jinqiulixiang’, were used as materials. The results showed that nitrogen fertilizer rate significant influenced cabbage plant height, plant width, head length, head diameter and root weight. Leaf length, leaf width, petiole length, and petiole thickness were not influenced by nitrogen fertilizer rate. As the fertilizer rate increased,plant height, plant width, petiole thickness and root weight increased, while leaf length, leaf width, petiole length,head length, head diameter increased at first then decreased. Nitrogen fertilizer significantly affected Chinese cabbage yield. Head weight, plant weight and yield improved as the nitrogen fertilizer rate increased. Among the six treatments, ‘Fengkang78’ with 480 kg/hm2 nitrogen had the highest yield(83928.57 kg/ha). The yield of ‘Fengkang78’ with 320 kg/ha nitrogen took the second place, which was 77926.20 kg/ha. Moreover, there was no significant difference between the above two treatments.
