Abstract
Radish is a tender tuberous root which could be consumed either in cooked form or raw. It is rich in vitamin C and minerals. Nutrition is one of the main factors which impact the growth and yield of radish. The present investigation is carried out to study the effect of organic and inorganic fertilizers on growth and yield of radish. The various organic manures (seaweed, seagrass and vermicompost) and inorganic fertilizer (NPK) at different concentrations (1, 2 and 4 g for soil amendments) affected the various growth parameters studied. Growth parameters and yield parameters like germination percentage, plant height, leaf area, fresh and dry weight and root diameter was found to be high on 40th day in fertilizer treated plants than control plants. The biochemical parameters were estimated on 40thday. Protein, carbohydrate, phenol and flavonoid contents were found to be high with the application of vermicompost (T5) followed by seaweed (T1 & T2), seagrass (T3), NPK (T4) and control (T0) however vitamin C was low with the application of vermicompost (T5). Among the organic manures used for the study, vermicompost was proved to be the best in enhancing the vegetative growth and phytochemical synthesis compared to seaweed, seagrass and inorganic fertilizer (NPK). The beneficial effects of vermicompost as an organic fertilizer have sustaining effects to improve the quality of soil in the long run. Therefore, it could be concluded that, the chemical fertilizers could be replaced by the compost for improving the quality of the yield under safe agriculture conditions, in addition to decreasing the production costs and environmental pollution.
