Abstract:
The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 17 treatments along with combinations of organic manure and inorganic fertilizer including control and each treatment replicated thrice. The turnip (Brassica rapa L.) crop in Brassicaceae family with purple Top White Glove variety was grown with each comprising of treatment replicated thrice. Result revealed that the application of T₁₂ (50% NPK + 50% N through Poultry manure) influenced most of the characteristics significantly and recorded the highest values of Root length (14.66 cm, 15.42 cm, and 15.04 cm), Root diameter (11.68 cm, 12.67 cm, and 12.18 cm), Days to attaining good root size (45.16 days, 44.55 days and 44.86 days), Fresh weight of whole plant (518.58 g, 587.10 g and 552.84 g), Dry weight of root (28.97 g, 31.58 g and 30.28 g), Fresh weight of whole plant (773.38 g, 846.32 g and 809.85 g), Root yield (8.03 kg/plot, 8.59 kg/plot and 8.31 kg/plot), Root yield per hectare (35.69 tn/ha, 38.18 tn/ha and 36.94 tn/ha) for the year 2018-19, 2019-20 and as pooled respectively.
