Vegetative growth of radish in different organic substrates

Abstract

The present work had like objective to evaluate the effect of different organic substrates on the vegetative growth of radish cultivar Crimson Giant. It was utilized a completely randomized design with five treatments and four replications . the substrates rated were T0 -washed sand + sawdust ; T1 -washed sand + sawdust + vermicompost ; T2washed sand + sawdust + 'Quixabeira soil '; T3 -washed sand + sawdust + cattle manure and T4 -washed sand + sawdust + broiler litter . were rated the plant height -AP (cm), fresh matter weight of the aerial part -MFA (g), dry matter weight of the aerial part -MSA (g), fresh matter weight of the root -MFR, dry matter weight of the root -MSR (g) and root diameter -DR (cm). observed that there were a significant effect of the treatments , in which the best vegetative growth was obtained in the T4 substrate.However, there is a need to adapt the production system to the reality of each region and to the different profiles of farmers. This need is the great incentive to carry out studies Pimenta et al.
