Abstract

The present investigation entitled effect of integrated nutrient management on growth and yield of radish (Raphanus sativus L.) cv. Japanese white was carried out the Horticultural Research Farm-1, Department of Horticulture, Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University (A central university) Vidya Vihar, Raebareli Road, Lucknow (U.P.) during the season, 2022-2023. The experimental materials for the present investigation was consisted of 10 treatment combinations laid out in Randomized Block Design and replicated thrice. The maximum plant height at 30, 45 and 60 DAS was recorded of the treatment in T5 followed by T7 as compared to the minimum treatment in T1. The fresh weight of the plants exhibited a notable variation, wherein a substantially higher fresh weight of roots was evident upon the application of NPK 50% + Vermicompost at a rate of 2 tons/ha in T5. Following closely, T7, with the application of NPK (50%) + Poultry Manure (50%) at 1.5 tons/ha, also demonstrated a significant increase in fresh root weight/ha and the minimum fresh weight of plant in T1.

Conclusion

On the basis of result obtained from the present investigation it can be concluded that foliar application of NPK 50%+Vermicompost @2tons/ha. was found most effective with respect to vegetative growth maximum and root yield of radish can be recommended to farmers for commercial cultivation of radish (Raphanus sativus L.) cv. Japanese White under the Lucknow condition.
