Abstract

A field study was conducted at Research Farm of the Department of Vegetable Science and laboratory studies were conducted in the Department of Seed Science and Technology, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar. The three levels of farmyard manure 0, 10 and 20 t/ha and 0, 50 and 100% neutralization of sodic water by gypsum were laid out in factorial RBD with three replications. Individually and combination of FYM and gypsum significantly influenced the vegetative growth, seed yield and seed quality in radish. Among the interaction combinations, the plant height at 80 DAP (120.56, 124.9 & 122.76cm), number of leaves per plant at 80 DAP (23.93, 26.07 & 25.0), number of primary branches per plant (7.73, 9.0 & 8.37), number of seeds per pod (5.80, 6.60 & 6.20), seed yield (643.33, 681.11 & 662.22kg/ha), test weight (10.31, 11.61 & 10.96g), seed germination (74.87, 78.27 & 76.57%) and vigour index-I (2711, 2953.9 & 2832.5) were recorded significantly maximum in F2G2 treatment where 20

Conclusion

Thus, it is concluded that the F2G2 (20 t/ha FYM + 10 t/ha gypsum for 100% neutralization of sodic water) is effective in increasing the vegetative growth, seed yield and seed quality of radish crop.
