Influenced of organic, inorganic manures and plant density on economics of radish (Raphanus sativus L.)

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2014-15 on sandy loam soil to “Effect of organic, inorganic manures and plant densities on performance of radish (Raphanus sativus L.)”. The experiment consisted three treatment of organic manures (control, VC @ 5 t/ha and FYM @ 15 t/ha), three treatment of inorganic manures (control, 50% RDF of NPK and 100% RDF of NPK) and two treatment of plant densities (20 x 10 cm and 30 x 10 cm), thereby making eighteen treatment combinations tested in randomized block design with three replications. The economics of maximum net returns (262595 /ha) was recorded with combined application of vermicompost 5 t/ha + 100% RDF of NPK + 30 x 10 cm spacing and maximum B: C ratio (3.28) was recorded with combined application of vermicompost 5 t/ha + 50% RDF of NPK + 30 x 10 cm spacing. Radish was significantly superior to other treatments in including sole or combination in different proportions.
