Abstract

English cabbage heads, collected from various localities in Cameron Highlands district showed positive correlation between nutrient uptake and the fresh weights of heads. Regression lines obtained could be used to predict the nutrient removal at various level s of production . For an estimated yield of 60 tons/ha, from the nutrient results obtained, a fertiliser application of approximately 200 kg K, 170kg N, 90kg Ca,30kg P and 20kg Mg is recommended.
