Overview

Randomized trial evaluates growth and yield of radish with different nutrient combinations, suggesting improved soil health and productivity.

Key Points

  • The aim is to assess how various integrated nutrient management combinations affect the growth and yield of radish.
  • Randomized block design with 9 treatments and 3 replications per treatment.
  • Evaluated combinations of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, vermicompost, farmyard manure, and poultry manure.
  • Focus on the cultivar 'Japanese white' radish.
  • Treatment T5 (50% NPK + 50% vermicompost) showed the highest growth, including plant height and leaf count.
  • Significantly improved root fresh and dry weight, larger root dimensions, and overall yield compared to other treatments.
  • Demonstrated enhanced soil health and microbial activity, indicating better nutrient availability and efficiency.
