ABSTRACT

Five cabbage varieties were evaluated in Bansa, Monamon Norte, Bauko, Mountain
Province during dry season on November 2012 to Febuary 2013.
All varieties had 100 percent survival and heading percentage except for Kila F1.
Lucky Ball significantly initiated heads earlier and Lucky Ball, Rare Ball, and Mountain
King were significantly harvested earlier than Scorpio and Kila F1.
Equatorial circumference of heads was significantly wider in Lucky Ball, Rare Ball,
and Mountain King. Lucky Ball and Rare Ball had the widest polar head circumference
while Lucky Ball had the heaviest head weight.
Marketable yield was significantly higher in Lucky Ball and Rare Ball at 70.67 t/ha
and 66.00 t/ha, respectively from which the highest ROI at 58.62 % and 49.27 % were
obtained.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Percentage Survival and
Heading Percentage
All the varieties planted had 100 percent survival as presented in Table 1. Further,
all the varieties had 100 percent heading except for Kila f1 which significantly had the
lowest heading percentage (Table 1).

Number of Days to Head Initiation
Head Initiation to Harvesting Stage
Table 2 shows that variety Lucky Ball significantly initiated heads earlier while
variety Lucky Ball, Rare Ball, and Mountain King were significantly harvested earlier at
62 days from transplanting.

Equatorial and Polar Head Circumferences
And Average head Weight
Table 3 shows that variety Lucky Ball, Rare Ball, and Mountain King had
significantly widest equatorial circumferences while variety Lucky Ball and Rare Ball
significantly had the longest polar circumference heads measured.
There were no significant differences in the weight of heads produced by variety
Lucky Ball, Rare Ball, Mountain King, Scorpio and Kila F1 (Table 3).

Total, Marketable and
Non-Marketable Yield
Table 4 shows that there were no significant differences in total yield. However,
variety Lucky Ball significantly had the highest marketable yield. The heads of all the
varieties tested except Kila F1 were marketable.

Head Firmness and Color
As presented in Table 7, Lucky Ball, Rare Ball, and Mountain King significantly
had very firm heads. In head color, Lucky Ball, Rare Ball, and Mountain King had dark
green color while Scorpio and Kila F1 had light green color.

Cost and Return Analysis
Table 8 shows that the highest return of investment at 58.62 was obtained from
Lucky Ball followed by the ROI taken from Rare Ball and Mountain King.

SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATION

Summary
The study was conducted from November 2012 to February 2013 at Bansa,
Monamon Norte, Bauko, Mountain Province to evaluate the performance of five cabbage
varieties.
Findings show that all varieties had 100 percent survival and heading percentage
except for Kila F1. Lucky Ball significantly initiated heads earlier, and Lucky Ball, Rare
Ball, and Mountain King were significantly harvested earlier.
Equatorial circumference of heads was significantly wider in Lucky Ball, Rare Ball,
and Mountain King. Lucky Ball and Rare Ball had the widest polar head circumference.
Lucky Ball had the heaviest head weight.
Marketable yield was significantly higher in Lucky Ball and Rare Ball, while Kila
F1 was significantly produced higher non-marketable yield. Lucky Ball and Rare Ball
significantly had higher computed marketable yield at 70.67 and 66.00 t/ha, respectively.
Lucky Ball, Rare Ball, and Mountain King significantly had very firm heads. Lucky
Ball, Rare Ball, and Mountain King had dark green color while Scorpio and Kila F1 had
light green color.
The highest return of investment at 58.62 % was obtained in Lucky Ball followed
by Rare Ball at 49.27 %. There were no significant differences in black rot, club root and
diamond back moth incidence among the varieties evaluated from no to slight damage.

Conclusion
Based from the results of the study, Lucky Ball and Rare Ball had the best yield
performance from which higher profit is derived.

Recommendation

Lucky Ball and Rare Ball are then recommended to be grown in Bansa, Monamon
Norte, Bauko, Mountain Province.
