Abstract: A field experiment was conducted at Research farm, Agricultural Research Station, S K Rajasthan Agricultural University, Bikaner during rabi season of2019-20 on loamy sand soil. The experiment comprising four levels of each nitrogen (Control, 40, 60 and 80 kg ha-1) and sulphur levels (Control, 15, 30 and 45 kg ha-1) making 16 treatment combinations replicated three times in factorial randomized block design. Application of 60 kg N ha-1 recorded significantly higher yield attributes, yield and chlorophyll content of radish over control and 40 kg N ha-1 and remained statistically at par with 80 kg N ha-1. Increasing levels of nitrogen significantly decreased pungency level in root up to 60 kg N ha-1, yet, it was statistically at par with 80 kg N ha-1. The increasing level of sulphur up to 30 kg S ha-1 significantly increased the yield attributes, yield and chlorophyll content of radish and was at par with 45 kg S ha-1. Pungency level in root increased significantly as a result of increasing levels of sulphur up to 45 kg S ha-1 over rest of all applied treatment.
