The present experiment was carried out at the Horticulture Research Farm of the Department of Applied Plant Science (Horticulture), Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India during the year 2014-2015. The plant to plant and row to row spacing were maintained at 30 x10 cm respectively. The experiment was carried under Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications. The three varieties are Pusa Mridula, Pusa Chetki, Pusa Desi, and three different doses of Sulphur viz. 15, 30, 45 Kg were used for making treatment combination. The treatment combinations were Pusa Mridula + No sulphur, Pusa Mridula + 15 kg sulphur, Pusa Mridula + 30 kg sulphur, Pusa Mridula + 45 kg sulphur, Pusa Chetki + No sulphur, Pusa Chetki + 15 kg sulphur, Pusa Chetki + 30 kg sulphur, Pusa Chetki + 45 kg sulphur, Pusa Deshi + No sulphur, Pusa Deshi + 15 kg sulphur, Pusa Deshi + 30 kg sulphur, and Pusa Deshi + 45 kg sulphur. On the basis of overall performance under the present investigation, if may be concluded that the application of 4 kg sulphur in Pusa Desi (T12) increased the growth, yield and nutritional quality of Radish under Lucknow condition.
