Online published on 2 January, 2017. Abstract Field experiment were carried out to study the response of radish (raphanus sativus L.) cv.pusa chetaki to comprising three levels of spacing(15x10, 30x10, 45x10 cm) and four levels of potash(0, 25, 50, 75 kg K2O) were laid out in factorial randomised block design with three replications. The growth parameters of radish viz., fresh weight of shoot, dry weight of shoot, number of leaves per plant, shoot length and weight of root, root girth, root length were significantly higher under the spacing of 45x10 and 30x10 cm over that 15x10 cm. Application of potash @ 75 and 50 kg K2O/ha significantly excelled the yieldattributes viz., root length, root girth, fresh weight of root and dry weight at 45 DAS and harvest over control dose of potash with respect to recommended dose of nitrogen and phosphorus.
