Growth and yield parameters of radish (Raphanus sativus L.) as influenced by various organic nutrients and biostimulants.

摘要

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of organic nutrients and biostimulants on growth and yield parameters in radish cv Pusa chetki. The organic manures, viz., FYM, vermicompost and consortium of biofertilizers were applied in the soil as basal application. The biostimulants like panchakavya, effective microorganism and Manchurian mushroom tea were given as foliar sprary at 10 days intervals as three sprays. The results of the experiment revealed that the growth parameters viz., shoot length, number of leaves, leaf area and shoot weight were recorded the highest due to the application of FYM @ 25 t ha-1 plus consortium of biofertilizers @ 2 Kg ha-1 combined with EM @ 1:1000 dilution ha-1 and MMT @ 3 per cent for both seasons. The yield attributes viz., root length, root girth, root weight, root yield per plot and root yield per hectare were recorded the highest in T₁₃ which received the application of VC @ 5 t ha-1+CBF @ 2 Kg ha-1+EM @ 1:1000 dilution ha-1 and PK @ 3 per cent ha-1.
