Impact of NPK, FYM and Vermicompost on growth and yield of radish (Raphanus sativus L.)

Abstract

An investigation was conducted at the Horticulture field Invertis University, Bareilly with a study “Impact of NPK, FYM and Vermicompost on growth and yield of radish (Raphanus sativus L.)” during rabi season (2022–23). The experiment was arranged in Randomized Block Design with three replications. Among the all different eight treatments, the treatment T6 (75 % RDF+25% Vermicompost) was recorded significantly maximum plant height (15.56 cm), number of leaves (11.60), leaf length (11.29 cm), leaf width (5.90 cm), leaf fresh weight per plant (135.50 g), root fresh weight per plant (94.30 g) and Yield (23100 kg/ha), Yield (23.10 t/ha) of radish tender roots after harvesting were also recorded maximum with the treatment T6.
