The experiment was conducted at Research Farm of the Department of Vegetable Science, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar (Haryana) to find out the effect of high RSC water, farmyard manure and gypsum on growth and phenological parameters in radish field during the year 2017- 18 & 2018-19. The treatments comprising of three levels of farmyard manure (0, 10 and 20 t/ha) and three levels of gypsum (0, 50 and 100% neutralization of RSC) were laid out in a randomized block design (factorial) with thrice replication
keeping a net plot size of 3.0x3.0 m and Punjab Safed cultivar was used for this study. The application of farmyard manure individually and in combination of farmyard manure and gypsum significantly influenced the vegetative growth and phenological parameters in radish crop under semi-arid conditions of Hisar. Among the interaction combinations, the plant height at 80 days after planting (cm) and at harvest (cm), number of leaves per plant at 80 days after planting, number of primary and secondary branches per plant at harvest were recorded significantly maximum in F2G2 treatment where farmyard manure was applied at the rate of 20 t/ha in combination with 100% neutralization of RSC by gypsum. However, minimum days to 50% flowering, days to 50% pod formation and days to maturity were recorded in F0G0 treatment combination where no farmyard manure and gypsum was applied during 2017-18 and 2018-19.
