Effect of boron and spacing on seed yield of radish (Raphanus sativus L.) varieties Punjab Pasand and Arka Nishant

Abstract

This research investigates the effect of boron (B) and spacing on seed production of two commercially important radish (Raphanus sativus L.) varieties cultivated in Punjab, India: Arka Nishant and Punjab Pasand. Building upon research conducted at Guru Kashi University in the academic year 2023-2024, to find out the response of boron treatment (0%, 0.05 mg/l, 0.1 mg/l), spacing (50 cm, 60 cm, 70 cm) and their intraction on seed yield of radish cv. Arka Nishant and Punjab Pasand. The experiment was conduct in split plot design with three replications. Observations were recorded on highest leaf length (Arka Nishant), Maximum Root length (Arka Nishant), Root Girth, Maximum Number of Siliqua per plant (Punjab Pasand), Maximum siliqua weight (Punjab Pasand), siliqua length, Maximum (Arka Nishant) Average Seed Yield Per hectare, respectively.
