Effect of zinc and manganese on growth and yield of turnip (Brassica rapa)

A field experiment entitled “Effect of Zinc and Manganese on Growth and Yield of Turnip (Brassica rapa)” was conducted in Rabi season during the year 2024-25 at the experimental field of Department of Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, Tantia University, Sri Ganganagar, Rajasthan. A field experiment was laid out in randomized block design with 7 different treatments and 3 replications. Observation on growth attributes were recorded at 30,45 and 60 DAS. The results revealed that (T6 - ZnSo4 400 ppm/L + MnSo4 400 ppm/L) consistently outperformed other treatments, recording highest plant height (17.44cm, 21.11 cm and 29.88 cm), Number of leaves - (4.98,5.76 and 8.73), Length of leaves (15.88cm, 18.43cm and 25.14cm), Width of leaves (6.52cm, 8.42cm and 13.73cm). It may be concluded that the integration of ZnSO4 + MnSO4 significantly enhanced the growth and yield attributes of Turnip under the agro - climatic conditions of Rajasthan.
