The use of locally available, nutrient rich organic sources is an effective means forrnimproving soil fertility and increasing crop yield in view of the escalating cost ofrninorganic fertilizers and low fertilizer use efficiency of crops in Ethiopia. This study wasrnconducted in Sebeta Hawas Woreda with the objective of comparing the effectiveness ofrnbio-slurry and inorganic fertilizer on soil properties, growth and yield of white cabbage.rnThe questionnaire survey was done to obtain information on the family size, number ofrncattle, type of fertilizer used, the amount of money saved by biogas using householdsrnwhen replacing chemical fertilizer with bio-slurry, bio-slurry storage and management,rnhousehold yield increment and perception of soil fertility improvement by using bioslurryrnas organic fertilizer. Laboratory analysis and field experiment were done on bioslurryrnin liquid and composted form to determine the nutrient content and effect of bioslurryrnand inorganic fertilizer on plant height, number of leaves, head diameter, headrnyield and nutrient content of cabbage as well as physical and chemical properties of thernsoil. The maximum plant height (cm) was obtained from T6 (recommended dose ofrninorganic fertilizer (RDIF) + biogas slurry compost (BGSC) at (80q/ha), while the lowest plantrnheight (cm) was recorded in T1 (control). Cabbage plants treated with T7 ( (1/2 RDIF) +rnivrn(Â½ BGSC )), T6 ( (RDIF) + BGSC at 80q/ha),T5 (BGSC at (80q/ha)) and T6 showed thernhighest number of leaves at 2,4,6 and 8 weeks after transplanting respectively. Withrnregard to fresh weight of individual head and individual head diameter (cm), T6 showedrnthe highest value for fresh weight of individual head and T5 showed the highest valuesrnfor individual head diameter (cm). Considering major nutrient content of white cabbage,rnit can be inferred that bio-slurry and inorganic fertilizer showed no significant effects onrnleaf phosphorous and potassium value but bio-slurry applied in combination withrninorganic fertilizers has positive influence on nitrogen content. The study also revealedrnthat there was significant contribution of bio-slurry to increase organic carbon,rnphosphorus and cation exchange capacity of soil.rnKey words: Growth and head yield, soil properties, bio-slurry, fertilizer
