    The Effect of Fermented Human Urine on the Cabbage Yields.
    (Kabale University, 2024) Nsanga, John
    Cabbage is a leafy green vegetable from the Brassica genus widely grown for its edible head. There is low productivity of cabbages in Nyakabande Sub County, Kisoro District. Therefore this study was carried out to investigate the effect of fermented human urine on vegetative growth and yield of cabbages. The field was divided into ten separate plots each measuring 1 square meter. The plots were uniformly spaced to minimize the risk of cross-contamination between the treatments. Each plot was condemning 4 cabbages. Research is aimed at examining the impact of urine concentration, fermentation duration, and application frequency on =vegetative growth and yield for cabbages. The parameters were leaf area, plant height, and head weight. The findings reveal that fermented urine particularly at 50% and 100%femented for more than four weeks and applied weekly significantly enhances cabbage growth parameters. Higher concentration and extended fermentation beyond optimal point do not provide additional benefits and may lead to nutrient stress. Therefore fermented urine with a concentration of 50% fermented for more than 4 weeks and applied on a weekly basis yielded the best growth outcomes across all measured parameters.
