Abstract

A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of zinc as foliar application on seed yield and quality in radish which was carried out in Pandah farm of Department of Seed Science and Technology, Dr YS Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry Nauni, Solan during 2018-19. Treatments involved four zinc levels ( 0g l , 1g l , 2g l , 3g l ) and three stages of application (Bolting, Bolting +14 days after first -1 -1 -1 -1 application, Bolting +14 days + 28 days after first application) resulting in 12 treatment combinations. Zn S (2g/L zinc at the time of bolting) was 3 1 found superior over all the treatment combinations for growth and seed yield parameters viz: plant height (118.92 cm), number of siliquae plant-1 -1 -1(146.40), siliqua length (7.09 cm), number of seeds siliqua (6.34), days to maturity (104.67), average seed weight siliqua (0.185 g), seed yield plant (27.03 kg) and seed yield ha (9.90 q ha ).
