Effect of bio fertilizers on growth and yield of Radish (Raphanus sativus L.) Cv. Arka Nishant

Abstract

The present investigation was carried out at CRC-1 field of ITM University, Department of Horticulture, Gwalior, (M.P.) during winter season of 2022-23. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) replicated thrice including ten treatments T1 (Control), T2 (RDF 100:80:50 Kg/ha), T3 (FYM 15t/ha + Azotobacter 25% more + PSB 25% more) T4 (FYM 15t/ha + Azotobacter 50% more + PSB 50% more) T5 (FYM 15t/ha + Azotobacter 75% more + PSB 75% more) T6 (FYM 15t/ha + Azotobacter 100% more + PSB 100% more) T7 (Vermicompost 10t/ha + Azotobacter 25% more + PSB 25% more) T8 (Vermicompost 10t/ha + Azotobacter 50% more + PSB 50% more) T9 (Vermicompost 10t/ha + Azotobacter 75% more + PSB 75% more) T10 (Vermicompost 10t/ha + Azotobacter 100% more + PSB 100% more). The application of (FYM 15t/ha + Azotobacter 100% more + PSB 100% more) T6 was found superior to growth parameters as compared to other treatments and recorded maximum growth (viz. plant height (cm), number of leaves per plant, length of leaves (cm). The application (Vermicompost 10t/ha + Azotobacter 100% more + PSB 100% more) T10 was found superior to yield parameters as compared to other treatments

Effect of cold arid high-altitude environment on bioactive phytochemical compounds of organically grown Brassicaceae vegetables for nutri-health security in mountainous regions

“…For the experiments, a recommended dose of FYM and Azotobacter (procured from International Panaacea Ltd.) was used i.e . 150 q/ha and 8.6 kg/ha respectively 14 . The area of each plot was 1.62 m 2 (1.35 m length × 1.20 m width) and a distance of 0.5 m was maintained between adjacent blocks as well as experimental plots.…”
