    The present study was carried out at ‘Chilli and Vegetable Research Unit’, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Maharashtra, India during winter season of 2013-14 to investigate growth, yield and qualitative parameters of various radish varieties. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (R.B.D.) with seven treatments and three replications. Seven varieties of radish, used for the study as treatments were viz., V1- Pusa Desi, V2-PusaChetki, V3- Pusa Reshmi, V4- Pusa Himani,V5- Japanese White, V6- Arka Nishant and V7- IHR-1-1. The plant height was supreme (28.29 cm) in Arka Nishant, maximum chlorophyll content of leaves (3.10 mg g-1) recorded in Arka Nishant. The variety Arka Nishant required minimum (43 days) number of days, in weight of total fresh weight of plant (190.06 g to 226.60 g) were observed. It was maximum in variety Arka Nishant, whereas, minimum in variety Pusa Desi. The variations in fresh weight of root (122.76 g to 161.74 g) were observed. The maximum root to shoot ratio (1.37) was observed in variety Arka Nishant. The values of root diameter were maximum (3.69 cm) in variety Arka Nishant. The maximum root yield plot-1 (32.34 kg plot-1) and hectare-1 (53.91 t ha-1) was produced in variety Arka Nishant. The maximum moisture content of root (97.75%) was recorded in Arka Nishant variety. The ascorbic acid content was maximum (18.36 mg 100 g-1), TSS (4.00 0B) was recorded in the variety Arka Nishant

    The present investigation was conducted during kharif 2019-20 at Department of Agronomy farm, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with seven treatments and three replications. Treatments consisted of different nutrient management practices including FYM and nitrogen doses viz., Absolute Control (N1), FYM @ 5 t ha-1 (N2), N2 + 30 kg N ha-1 (N3), N2 + 60 kg N ha-1 (N4), N2 + 90 kg N ha-1 (N5), N2 +120 kg N (N6) and N2 + 150 kg N ha-1 (N7). Cotton crop was sown on 29th June 2019 and was harvested in four pickings. Among various spectral bands, significantly higher positive and negative correlation coefficient values (at 0.05 % level of significance) for plant chlorophyll content were noted with the simple ratio of NIR/G (r2=0.829) and G/NIR(r2=-0.826), respectively, being most efficient in detecting the nitrogen stress in cotton crop. Yield potential of cotton was established (at 0.05 % level of significance) with negative and positive (both) correlation coefficient of simple ratio of R/NIR (r2=-0.815 and r2=-0.869) and NIR/R (r2=0.811and r2=0.865) respectively at 180 DAS
