Abstract: The pot experiment was conducted in Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, Annamalai University to evaluate the response of radish (Raphanus sativus L.) with organic sources and industrial by–products combined with inorganic fertilizers. The results showed that application of 100% RDF + FYM@ 25 t ha-1 (T5), significantly increased the growth attributed like shoot length (18.92 cm), number of leaves plant-1 (14), leaf length (20 cm), leaf breadth (11cm), leaf area (219.6 cm2) and yield attributes viz., root length (19.4 cm), single root weight plant-1 (281.9 g), root yield pot-1 (845.9 g) and shoot yield pot-1(501.9g).
Keywords: Radish, Leaf area, Fertilizers, Shoot yield, Leaf length
