Effect of different doses of vermicompost on growth, yield and quality of radish (Raphanus sativus L. cv. Mino Early)

A field experiment was conducted at Horticulture farm of Nepal Polytechnic Institute (NPI) Bharatpur-11, Chitwan to study the effects different doses vermicompost on growth, yield and quality radish (Raphanus sativus L. cv. Mino Early) from January 2020 March 2020. Five (0 ton, 5 10 15 20 ton per hectare) were taken as treatments replicated four times. The set up in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). result showed that there a significant effect plant height, number leaves plant, spreading root length, weight diameter, harvesting. maximum application recorded every 30, 45 60 days after sowing (DAS). length (29.60 cm), diameter (36.27 mm), (191.8 g), biomass (241.6 g/plant), (47.9 ton/ha), applying ton/ha DAS. control treatment minimum vegetative growth yield. Among vermicompost, overall performance found better vermicompost. Statistical analysis no differences among (5 hectare vermicompost) applications. Hence, will be best for production Chitwan.
