Influence of Electric, Magnetic and Bio Film on the Growth, Yield and Yield Attributing Traits of Radish (Raphanus sativus L.)

Abstract

The present study was carried out for Influence on electric, magnetic and Bio - film in the growth, yield, and yield attributing traits of radish (Raphanus sativus L.) was made to identify the effect of seed priming of different kinds on seed quality characters of radish and to find out suitable seed priming method for radish. For this purpose, 13 priming treatments were taken in Randomized Block Design including control on radish seed was studied under field conditions during Rabi, 2020-21. Analysis of variance for the data revealed that significance mean sum of squares due to seed priming treatments were observed for all the characters under study viz., Field emergence percentage, Plant height (20, 40 DAS and at harvest), Days to maturity, total number of leaves, dry weight of leaves, fresh weight of leaves, seed yield per plot, seed yield per plant and seed yield per hectare which were highly significant at 5% level of significance indicating presence of good amount of variability among the treatments for these characters. Seed priming with T3 – Magnetic (600 gauss) significantly affected characters studied in field experiment. Thus, application of T3 – Magnetic (600 gauss) may be useful for improving growth, yield, and yield attributing traits of radish. The experiment was laid out in Randomized block design (RBD).
