Efficacy of bio-fertilizer, organic and inorganic fertilizer on yield and quality of radish (Raphanus sativus L.)

Abstract

An experiment entitled ‘Performance of organic manures, inorganic fertilizer and biofertilizer of yield and quality of radish’ was conducted during Rabi season of 2016-17 at the field site of AICRP on Vegetable Crops of O.U.A.T. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications. In all eight treatments were imposed. The result of present investigation indicated that the yield plot-1 as well as hectare-1 and the NPK content in leaves and roots of radish were found highest in treatment with either safe production (Recommended FYM @ 20t ha-1 + fertilizer @ 80:60:80 NPK kg ha-1 + PP with organic methods) + IIHR microbial consortium @ 12.5 kg ha-1or conventional practices (Conventional practices (Recommended FYM @ 20 tha-1 + fertilizer @ 80:60:80 NPK kg ha-1 +PP chemicals+ IIHR microbial consortium @ 12.5 kg ha-1) with application of 296.28 q ha-1.
