The effects of added limestone and potassium on the yield of cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata) were investigated at different locations each year for three consecutive years. The cultivars, Excel, Green Winter and Houston Evergreen were grown at each location and after harvest were held for 5 mo in storages maintained at about 2 °C and 95% RH and at about 6 °C and 90% RH. An application of dolomitic limestone at 6.7 t/ha, prior to transplanting, on soils with pH levels of 4.8–5.4 increased marketable yields. The addition of potassium at 224 kg/ha compared to 56 kg/ha also increased yields. The lime treatment reduced the percent weight loss due to dehydration in storage, but neither the lime nor the potassium treatment had any significant effect on the proportion of the original weight placed in storage that remained in marketable condition.Key words: Cabbage, Brassica oleracea, cold storage, lime, potassium, fertilizer
