Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at the Instructional Farm, College of Agriculture, Jodhpur, during the Rabi season of 2023-24 to assess the impact of integrated nutrient management on growth and yield of radish (Raphanus sativus L.). The study comprised fourteen treatments arranged in a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications. The findings revealed that the application of 100% RDF + 4.0 t Vermicompost + Microbial Consortia @ 12.5 kg/ha resulted in the maximum total soluble solids (5.07 °B), ascorbic acid content (14.08 mg/100 g), chlorophyll content of leaves (0.789 mg/100 g) and highest available nitrogen (186.77 kg/ha), available phosphorus (24.80 kg/ha), available potassium (337.77 kg/ha) compared to the control.
