Combined Effect of Vermicompost and Bonemeal on Growth and Yield of Radish (Raphanus sativus var. Hill Queen)

Abstract

The enquiry was done during rabi season from 21 November, 2022 to 26 January, 2023 at the research station of Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture And Technology, Kalyanpur Kanpur, India .The cultivar was Hill Queen of radish (Raphanus sativus) which is one of the important variety of North Indian Plain of Indian Subcontinent. The organic fertilizer vermicompost and bonemeal as a combined effect was recorded on different aspect of growth and yield of the respected variety. The experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design on the total area of 150m2.This area was divided in two halves ,of which one half area was under Hill Queen variety with combined organic fertilizer application and the other area was allotted with no fertilizer application. Considerable positive effect was recorded under the combined organic fertilizer on parameters like Diameter of the green foliage, Length of the roots, Diameter of the roots, Number of leaves, Total mass of the plant and Number of root hair development which is crucial for the later period of seed production. All the major parameters included had shown considerable increase and they have shown in the percentage from the counterpart of the experiment.
