Abstract: The present investigation entitled “Effect of Gibberellic acid and Nitrogen on yield and marketability of cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.) cv. Pride of India” was conducted at Rampur Farm and (PG) Laboratory of Doon (PG) College of Agriculture Science & Technology, Selaqui, Dehradun during the Rabi season (2016) in India. The recorded data were analysed with Factorial Randomized Complete Block Design having sixteen treatments combining two factors (four each) like N₀G_0, N₀G_1, N₀G_2, N₀G_3, N₁G_0, N₁G_1, N₁G_2, N₁G_3, N₂G_0, N₂G_1, N₂G_2, N₂G_3, N₃G_0, N₃G_1, N₃G₂ and N₃G₃ which were replicated three times. The data were recorded for pre harvest parameters like Plant height, number of leaves per plant and plant canopy while post harvest observations like fresh weight of the whole plant, fresh weight of heads, diameter of head, thickness of head and yield of head and economic of production. The significantly superior results were observed with the treatment N₁G₃ (8Kg Nitrogen and 20ppm GA₃ respectively) while minimum with control (N₀G₀).
