Résumé

Cabbage (Brassica oleracea L.) is a vegetable grown for its leaves, apples or flower. Its production ranks third after onions and tomatoes in Burkina Faso. However, the fertilizers used in its production limit its yield performance. With this in mind, the aim of the present study was to compare the effect of different fertilization regimes on the agronomic performance of cabbage. The study was carried out at the Eden II farm in Kougsabla, in the town of Tenkodogo. The experimental set-up was a completely randomized block design with three fertilization regimes repeated four times. Fertilization regimes consisted of Compost+NPK (6 t/ha +50 kg/ha), Compost (12 t/ha) and NPK (100 kg/ha). Cultivation consisted of ploughing, burying fertilizers and transplanting seedlings. Physiological, morphological, phytopathological and agronomic parameters were evaluated. Analysis of variance (ANOVA at 5 % threshold) revealed no significant difference between cabbage morphological, physiological, phytopathological and yield parameters according to the fertilization regimes. The Compost+NPK fertilization improved cabbage morphological performance with increases of 4 % of plant height; 6 % of plant width; 3 % of number of leaves; 9 % of apple circumference; 19 % of apple length; and 14 % in apple width compared with the NPK fertilization regime. Early onset of the first cabbage apple of 2 and 3 days was observed under the Compost+NPK fertilization regime compared with the Compost and NPK fertilization regimes. The Compost reduced the number of rotten apples by 50 % and the number of punctured apples at harvest by 78 % compared with the NPK. The Compost fertilization recorded the highest apple yield at 68 %, followed by the Compost+NPK fertilization regime at 55 % compared with the NPK fertilization. These results show that the compost fertilization performed well in terms of plant health and cabbage apple yield, while the Compost+NPK fertilization regime performed better in terms of cabbage morphological and physiological parameters.
