Abstract

A field experiment was carried out at the Horticulture Nursery of A.K.S. University, Satna (M.P.) during winter season 2021-22. The effect of gibberellic acid (GA) on growth, yield, quality and economics of radish was evaluated. The treatments comprised three varieties and four levels of GA concentration. There were 12 treatments combinations which were replicated three in randomisedblock design (factorial). Results recorded maximum growth, yield and quality parameters of radish cultivar Pusa Rashmi with 30 ppm GA concentration. The radish cultivar Pusa Rashmi was observed as highest yielder and capable to give the maximum net profit (Rs.166672/ha) with B:C ratio (3.01) amongst the other varieties, while the concentration of GA at 30 ppm applied as pre-seed treatment enhanced the growth and yield attributes. Thus, it may be considered to be an optimum concentration of GA for producing maximum yield of radish under the existing agro-climatic conditions of the region.
