Effect of integrated nutrient management on yield and quality 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 2022-23 to study the Effect of Integrated Nutrient Management on Yield and Quality 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 TSS (4.07), ascorbic acid (33.43), pH juice (7.17), dry matter content in leaves% (7.95), and dry matter content in root% (9.53) were noted in variety Kashi Mooli-40. The, maximum fresh weight of leaves (263.20 g), length of root (21.78 cm), weight of root (160.14 g), root yield kg/plot (4.06 kg) and root yield (535.82 q ha-1) is observed in variety Kashi Mooli-40 and in case of nutrients the TSS (5.25), ascorbic acid (33.80), pH juice (7.43), dry matter% content in leaves (8.58), and dry matter content in root% (10.16) was observed in treatments N5 during growth characters. While the maximum fresh weight of leaves (272.69 g), weight of root (171.59 g) and root yield (571.87 q/ha) were recorded in treatments N5 (RDF 75% + Azotobacter + PSB).
