Abstract: A field study was conducted at the Horticultural Research Farm of Horticulture Department, Institute of Agriculture, Nain, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences (SHUATS), Prayagraj (U.P.) during the academic years 2021-22 and 2022-23. In this study, we used a randomized block design with 09 treatments (including variations of micro- and macronutrients, biofertilizers and fertilizer Nano formulations) and 3 replications. "The main objective of this study was to evaluate the growth, yield and quality of cabbage grown with different concentrations of different Nano nutrients. The experimental results indicate that, treatment T2 displayed the highest notable Available Nitrogen (kg/ha) of soil measurements i.e., [173.64 (2021-22), 169.87 (2022-23) and 171.76 (Pooled)] kg/ha, displayed the highest notable Available Phosphorus (kg/ha) of soil measurements i.e., [17.36 (2021-22), 15.42 (2022-23) and 16.39 (Pooled)] kg/ha when compared to the remaining treatments across both years of investigation and in the pooled analysis. treatment T2 displayed the highest notable Available Potassium (kg/ha) of soil measurements i.e., [219.48 (2021-22), 216.91 (2022-23) and 218.20 (Pooled)] kg/ha when compared to the remaining treatments across both years of investigation and in the pooled analysis. T2 displayed the lowest notable Organic carbon (%) of soil measurements i.e., [0.22 (2021-22), 0.21 (2022-23) and 0.22 (Pooled)] %. T2 displayed the lowest notable Soil pH measurements i.e., [6.98 (2021-22), 6.97 (2022-23) and 6.97 (Pooled)]. when compared to the remaining treatments across both years of investigation and in the pooled analysis found were determined in both years and associated with T1 (treatment number 1) with various nano formulations of nutrients with different combinations of micro and micronutrients at the nanoscale. On the other hand, T4 (treatment number 4 changed the mix of micronutrients and micronutrients in Nano preparations) recorded the lowest value for this crop cabbage.
