Abstract

An experiment was conducted at the farm of Sr. Major Singh, Village Bhangala, Abohar, Disst. Fazilka (Punjab) during the year 2018-19 to study the effect of organic manures, inorganic fertilizers and their combinations on growth, yield and quality of radish (Raphanus sativus L.). The treatments were recommended dose of fertilizers, 100% Nitrogen through farm yard manure, 100% N through poultry manure, 75% NPK+25% N through farm yard manure, 75% NPK+25% through poultry manure, 50% NPK +50% N through farm yard manure and 50% NPK + 50% N through poultry manure. The effect of these factors on plant height, number of leaves per plant, length of leaf, root yield per plot, root weight, root length per plant, root diameter was observed. Out of these T6 showed the highest growth, yield and quality parameters of radish. It is closely followed by treatments T7 for the characters like growth yield and quality parameters of radish.
