Abstract:

The present investigation entitled “Effect of different levels of organic and inorganic fertilizers on soil properties, growth and yield of Radish (Raphanus sativus L.) var. Pusa chetki”. Field experiment was conducted at Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, Naini Agricultural Institute, Prayagraj – 211007, during rabi 2019 – 2020. The experiment consists of 9 treatments including recommended dose of inorganic fertilizers, FYM, vermicompost, neem cake in different combinations and absolute control. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design with three replications. The results showed that progressive increase in the level of N P K and organic manures used from different sources in the experiment, the treatment combination (25%NPK + 25% VC + 25% FYM + 25%NC) significantly increased the physical and chemical analysis parameters i.e. Bulk density (Mg/m3), Particle density (Mg/m3), Pore space (%), Water retaining capacity (%), Specific gravity, Soil Ph (1:2) w/v, Soil EC (d S/m), Organic carbon (%), Available Nitrogen (Kg/ha), Available Phosphorus (Kg/ha), Available Potassium (Kg/ha) of soil.


Keywords: Soil properties, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, FYM, Vermicompost, Neem cake
