The field experiment was conducted at Horticulture Farm, S.K.N. College of Agriculture, Jobner (Jaipur) during Rabi seasons of 2016-17 and 2017-18. The experiment consisted of thirty five treatment combinations including seven INM (100 per cent RDF through inorganic fertilizer, 75 per cent RDF through inorganic fertilizer + 25 per cent through FYM (5 t/ha), 50 per cent RDF through inorganic fertilizer + 50 per cent through FYM, 100 per cent RDF through FYM, 75 per cent RDF through inorganic fertilizer + 25 per cent through VC, 50 per cent RDF through inorganic fertilizer + 50 per cent through VC and 100 per cent RDF through vermicompost and five bio-regulator levels [Control, Brassinoids @ 5 ppm, Brassinoids @ 10 ppm, Salicylic acid @ 100 ppm and Salicylic acid @ 150 ppm] were under taken in Split plot design with three replications. The results showed that the maximum weight of primary curd (222.51 g), number of secondary curds per plant (6.58), weight of secondary curd (154.05 g), yield per plant (384.56 g), yield per plot (7.69 kg), yield per ha Ola et al.; CJAST, 35(5): 1-8, 2019; Article no.CJAST.49153 2 (189.90 q), biological yield per ha (1081.85 q) and net returns ( 304019/ha) were recorded with the application of 50 per cent RDF through inorganic fertilizer and 3.5 t/ha vermicompost (F 5 ) in sprouting broccoli. Whereas, the maximum B:C ratio (4.39:1) was recorded under 75 per cent RDF supplied through inorganic fertilizer and 1.75 t/ha vermicompost. Harvesting index was found non significant. In the case of bio-regulators maximum weight of primary curd (213.17 g), number of secondary curds per plant (6.20), weight of secondary curd (147 g), yield per plant (362.57 g), yield per plot (7.42 kg), yield per ha (183.19 q), biological yield per ha (1002.18 q), net returns ( 287563 / ha) and B:C ratio (3.99:1) were recorded significant by superior over control with foliar application of 5 ppm brassinoids. While harvesting index was found non significant to broccoli. Original Research Article

The field experiment was conducted at the Horticulture Farm, S.K.N. College of Agriculture, Jobner, Jaipur (Rajasthan) during Rabi seasons 2019-20 and 2020-21. The result showed that soil application of sulphur 60 kg/ha and foliar application Zinc sulphate @ 0.6% was recorded maximum plant height, number of leaves and chlorophyll content of leaves in both the years as well as in pooled analysis. Although, sulphur application at 40 kg/ha along with foliar application of zinc sulphate at 0.6 % was found at par to it.

The study was conducted to determine the effect of organic manures and zinc on radish's growth, yield, quality and economics. The maximum average weight of the root (193.72 g), root: shoot ratio (2.72), root yield (258.86 q/ha), ascorbic acid (13.72 mg/100g), zinc content in leaves (25.05 ppm),) net return (Rs 170280/ha) and B: C ratio (2.92) were recorded and significantly influenced in treatment M2 but these parameters were at par with M3 except net return. In the case of zinc levels, the maximum average weight of root (194.81 g), root: shoot ratio (2.62), root yield (253.30 q/ha), ascorbic acid (13.40 mg/100g), net return (Rs 167810/ha) and B: C ratio (2.96) were recorded in treatment ZnSO4 @ 25 kg/ha but these parameters were at par with Z3. However, zinc content in leaves and roots (27.31 & 47.15 ppm) were recorded more in treatment Z3 @ 30 kg/ha but these parameters did not differ significantly from treatment Z2. The combining effect of different organic manures and zinc levels was significant on the B: C ratio. Moreover, the interactive effect between vermicompost @ 3 t/ha along with ZnSO4 @ 25 kg/ha was significantly higher (3.27) over the rest of the treatments except M3Z3, M2Z3 and M3Z2, which were found statistically at par to it.
