Effect of irrigation systems, water regimes and organic fertilizers on cabbage growth components and NPK soil content.

Research Abstract
This study was conducted 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 growth components of Cabbage (Brassica oleraecea L) and soil content of the macro-elements N, P, K in split- split plot design in 4 replicates .The subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) system dominated the surface drip irrigation (DI) system, and the 100% irrigation water rate was better than 80% and then 60%, and the NPK dominated organic fertilizers , seconded by sheep manure, then cow manure , then sheep manure + barley straw, then cow manure + barley straw, as regards mean values of all cabbage growth components of, head ,stem, leaves , root, and total plant fresh and dry weight and the highest soil content of NPK .
