Vegetables> Turnip> Manuring & Fertilization

The fertilizer dose depends upon the fertility of soil and amount of organic manure applied to the crop. For a good yield, 25 tonnes of well-decomposed FYM is incorporated into the soil. Generally, application of 60-70 kg N, 40-50 kg P2 O5 and 40-50 kg K2 O is recommended for optimum yield. Half dose of N and full dose of P and K is given at the time of planting. The balance half of N is given at the time of root formation with the second or third irrigation.
