Abstract: A field experiment was carriedout during Rabi season of 2020-21 at Horticulture farm of SKN College of Agriculture, Jobner, to find out the effect of organic manures and zinc on growth, yield and quality of radish. This experiment was conducted in factorial randomized block design with three replications. The experiment consisted of sixteen treatment combinations including four organic manures and four levels of zinc. Significantly higher plant height (31.60 and 35.53 cm) at 45 DAS and at harvest and number of leaves per plant (10.15 and 11.30) at 45 DAS and at harvest, respectively were recorded in treatment poultry manure 3.6 t/ha but maximum leaf area (266.81 cm2), chlorophyll content in leaves (1.83 mg/g), root diameter (6.07 cm), root length (20.53 cm) root yield (258.86 q/ha) were recorded in treatment vermicompost @ 3 t/ha. Among the zinc levels significantly higher plant height (31.61 and 35.94 cm) at 45 DAS and at harvest, number of leaves per plant (10.15 and 11.37) at 45 DAS and at harvest, respectively, leaf area (267.71 cm2), chlorophyll content in leaves (1.82 mg/g), root diameter (6.04 cm), root length (20.39 cm) and root yield (253.30 q/ha)were recorded in treatment ZnSO4 @ 25 kg per ha but these parameters were at par with ZnSO4 @ 30 kg per ha. The combinations of vermicopost and zinc significantly influenced the yield components and yield of radish.
