Research Abstract

The research study was carried out at the Agricultural Experimental Research Station located at Hada Al-Sham, King Abdulaziz University during two successive seasons (2015-2016 and 2016-2017) to study the effects of different organic fertilizers (cow manure, sheep manure, cow manure + barley straw and sheep manure + barley straw) and NPK (20:20:20), under two irrigation methods (surface and subsurface drip irrigation), and three water supply rates (100%, 80% and 60%), on yield , yield components of Cabbage (Brassica oleraecea L) and soil chemical properties in split- split plot design in 4 replicates. For irrigation systems, the subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) system dominated surface drip irrigation (DI) system, and for IWR, the 100% rate dominated followed by 80% and then 60%, and for organic fertilizers , the NPK dominated , seconded by sheep manure, then cow manure , then sheep manure + barley straw, then cow manure + barley straw, as regards mean values of all cabbage yield and yield components , and soil pH, EC and organic matter (OM).
