The investigations were conducted to study the effect of nitrogen (0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 kg N/ha) and sulphur (0, 100, 200, 300 and 400 kg S/ha) on the growth and yield of radish. The variety selected for study was Pusa Rashmi The sulphur was applied 21 days beforeseed sowing, whereas half nitrogen was applied one day before sowing of seeds and half one month after first application. Nitrogen as well as sulphur were effective in increasing the yield of radish root. Nitrogen was superior over sulphur. Although the maximum yield of root was obtained at 200 kg N/ha but there was no significant difference between this and 150 kg N/ha treatment. Therefore, the best treatment would be 150 kg N/ha where yield of radish root was 115.00 gm/root (23.00 tonnes/ha) as compared to 87.7 gm/root (17.54 tonnes/ha) in control.
