The present investigation entitled “Studies on effect of different organic manures on growth and yield of radish (Raphanus sativus L.)” was carried out during kharif season at the college Research Farm, Department of Agricultural Engineering. Aditya Engineering College. Surampalem. The radish Pusa Chetki' variety was used for this study. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three treatments of different organic manures comprises Control 100% N through poultry manure (T1). 100% N through FYM (T2). 50%% N through poultry manure + 50% N through farm yard manure (T3) are replicated thrice. The periodical observations on growth yield parameters were recorded. The results of the present investigation indicated that, the farm yard manure has significant influence on growth and yield parameters of radish. As regards to the growth parameters the treatment farm yard manure (T2) was found superior for most of the traits under study and it was followed by control treatment. The maximum values of growth parameters like shoot length (36 cm), number of leaves per plant (19). The yield contributing characters like average weight of whole plant (1320g), Root weight (1072g), Root shoot ratio (2.52), Root yield per plot (19.400 kg), Root yield per hectare (35.53 t) and the diameter of root (6.63cm), and dry matter (5.7l per cent) were recorded in treatment 100% N through farm yard manure (T2) and significantly superior over other treatments. The minimum values of cracked roots weight 0.60 per cent were observed.
