Effect of integrated nutrient management on growth and yield of radish (Raphanus sativus L.) cultivars

Abstract

The field experiment was conducted at Horticulture Research Farm-I, Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, Lucknow (U.P.) during rabi season of 2021-22 to study the Effect of Integrated Nutrient Management on Growth and Yield of Radish (Raphanus sativus L.) Cultivars. Three varieties and thirteen nutrients with three replications were evaluated in Factorial Randomized Block Design. The results revealed that the maximum plant height (26.32 cm), number of leaves (15.10), leaf length (21.06 cm), leaf width (5.58 cm), and maximum seed germination (97.30%) were noted in variety Kashi Mooli-40. The, maximum fresh weight of leaves (269.86 g), length of root (21.59 cm), weight of root (159.44 g), root yield kg/plot (4.01 kg) and root yield (533.84 q ha-1) is observed in variety Kashi Mooli-40 and in case of nutrients the maximum plant height (26.71cm), number of leaves (17.87), leaf length (21.33 cm), leaf width (5.83 cm) and maximum germination (98.48%) was observed in treatments N5 during growth characters. While the maximum fresh weight of leaves (272.50 g), weight of root (171.23 g) and root yield (572.93 q/ha) were recorded in treatments N5 (RDF 75% + Azotobacter + PSB).
