Cabbage cultivation with organic inputs in agroforestry systems may be an alternative for cultivation in the state of Roraima. In this context, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of bovine biofertilizer and alley system on the production components of Sooshu hybrid cabbage. The experiment was conducted from August 2019 to July 2020 at the Agrotechnical School of the Federal University of Roraima. The treatments were arranged in randomized blocks, in split plots, with three replicates. The factorial scheme used was 2 × 5, referring to production in systems without and with alleys and five concentrations of bovine biofertilizer (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% of the 8 L m-2 dose). After 113 days of application of the bovine biofertilizer, the following were evaluated: i) mass of the leaves that form the head; ii) number of outer leaves; iii) mass of outer leaves; iv) transverse and longitudinal diameters and v) yield. The agroforestry system had no influence on cabbage production components. Bovine biofertilizer at concentration of 63.13% promoted higher mass of leaves that form the head and yield of Sooshu hybrid cabbage.
