Abstract: The study was conducted to assess the effect of FYM and gypsum on seed quality of radish under high RSC water. The three levels of farmyard manure (0, 10 and 20 t/ha) and three levels of gypsum (0, 5 and 10 t/ha) were laid out in randomized block design (factorial) with four replications. The application of farmyard manure and gypsum individually and in combination significantly influenced the seed yield, seed quality and economics of radish crop. Application of farmyard manure @ 20 t/ha in combination with 100% neutralization of RSC through gypsum (10 t/ha) were recorded significantly maximum seed yield (6.62 q/ha), test weight (10.96 g), standard germination percentage (76.57%), seedling length (36.97 cm), seedling dry weight (11.56 mg), vigour index-I (2832.5), vigour index-II (885.39), net returns (Rs. 92451/-) and benefit to cost ratio (1.87) as compared to control where no FYM and gypsum was applied during both the years of study. Hence, combined application of FYM and gypsum minimize the harmful effect of sodic water and maximize the yield and quality of seed in radish.
