Abstract

The present investigation entitled “Effect of Integrated Nutrient Management on quality 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 (UP) 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 ascorbic acid of radish were ranged from significantly higher ascorbic acid of radish was observed with the application of NPK 50% + Vermicompost @2 tons/ha in T5 followed by T7 with the application of NPK (50%) + Poultry Manure (50%) -1.5 tons/ha and the minimum ascorbic acid of radish in T1. T.S.S. of radish were ranged from significantly higher T.S.S. of radish was observed with the application of NPK 50% + Vermicompost @2 tons/ha in T5 followed by T7 with the application of NPK (50%) + Poultry Manure (50%) -1.5 tons/ha and the minimum T.S.S of radish in T1.The total sugars in radish exhibited a considerable range, with a notably higher concentration observed when applying NPK 50% + Vermicompost at a rate of 2 tons/ha in T5. Following this, T7, with the application of NPK (50%) + Poultry Manure (50%) at 1.5 tons/ha, also displayed a significantly elevated total sugar content. Conversely, the minimum total sugars in radish were recorded in T1.

Keywords

Integrated Nutrient Management, quality, Vermicompost, Poultry Manure, NPK

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.
