Resumen

The use of shade and planting materials is expected to provide an effective solution to increase the introduction of highland cabbage in the tropical lowlands. This research aims to evaluate the growth response of cabbage plants under different shading intensities and planting materials. The experiment was arranged following a split-plot design with shading intensity as the main plot, and the subplots were planting material. The results showed that morphological alterations were found in cabbage grown under different shading intensities, especially under heavier shading treatment (80%). Denser shading caused elongation of stems and internodes due to etiolation. On the other hand, it decreased the stem diameter, number of leaves, canopy area, leaf area, leaf fresh weight, leaf dry weight, and inhibited root development during the plant development process from 2 to 12 weeks after transplanting. The use of different planting materials did not have any significant effect on all traits of highland cabbage cultivated in the lowlands. The cultivation of highland cabbage should be practiced under direct sunlight, not requiring shading treatment. Canopy growth of cabbage planted under direct sunlight showed a denser visual appearance, as reflected in the ability of cabbage to form a crop.

Keywords: crop vegetable; morphological traits; plant acclimation; sunlight intensity; vegetative propagation.
