Cabbage yield, protein content and soil chemical properties as affected by irrigation system, water regimes and organic fertilizers.

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).
