Abstract:
An experiment was conducted at Horticultural Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, B.A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand with a view to study the “Effect of integrated nutrient management on growth and yield of radish (Raphanus sativus L.) cv. Japanese white” during rabi season of year 2021-22. The experiment was arranged in Randomized Block Design with 14 treatments and 3 replications. Among the all different treatments, treatment T14 [50% NPK + 25% VC + 25% PM + Seed treatment of Anubhav Bio NPK consortium (5 ml/kg of seed)] recorded significantly maximum plant height (35.34 and 35.62 cm), number of leaves (14.07 and 14.93) at 45 DAS & at time of harvest respectively. Maximum fresh weight of shoot (157.85 g), dry weight of shoot (12.97g) and leaf area (216.29 cm2), root length (27.39 cm), root diameter (3.55 cm), fresh weight of root (196.68 g), root to shoot ratio (1.32), root yield (36.42 t/ha) of radish root aft er harvesting were also recorded maximum with the treatment T14.
