    Studies on Growth, Yield and Quality of Radish (Raphanus sativus L.) as Influenced by Different Doses of NPK
    (Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda – 210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2022-02-02) KUMAR, PRADIP; Soni, Shweta
    The present investigation entitled “Studies on Growth, Yield and Quality of Radish (Raphanus sativus L.) as influenced by different doses of NPK” was conducted at Vegetable Research Farm at College of Horticulture, Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda, Uttar-Pradesh during Rabi season of 2021. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications. The 10 treatments involved in the study are T1 50:100:50 NPK/ha (control), T2 100:100:50 NPK/ha, T3 150:100:50 NPK/ha, T4 200:100:50 NPK/ha, T5 50:150:50 NPK/ha, T6 50:200:50 NPK/ha, T7 50:250:50 NPK/ha, T8 50:100:100 NPK/ha, T9 50:100:150 NPK/ha and T10 50:100:150 NPK/ha and they were applied to study the effect of NPK on growth, yield, quality and economics of Radish. In the present study, it was observed that the application of 200:100:50 NPK/ha significantly increased all growth, yield and quality parameters [i.e. plant height (cm), number of leaves plant-1 leaf length (cm), leaf width (cm), length and diameter of root (cm), weight of root and leaves (g), root: shoot ratio, root yield per plot (kg), total yield (q/ha) and TSS (0Brix)] followed by 150:100:50 NPK/ha and 50:250:50 NPK/ha. Therefore among all the combinations of NPK applied 200:100:50 NPK/ha was found significantly most effective in increasing the yield and yield attributing traits. On the basis of results obtained in the present investigation, it can be concluded that, enhanced application of NPK over recommended dose of fertilizer (Control), can positively improve the growth, quality and yield contributing traits of radish. Hence, application of 200:100:50 NPK/ha may be suggested in radish plant in order to get higher yield of good quality roots as well as the maximum net return per hectare and B : C ratio under Bundelkhand condition.
