A pot culture experiment was conducted to assess the effect of fresh, composed and vermicomposted parthenium and poultry droppings on the yield and quality of radish. There were fifteen treatments each with three replications. The yield parameters were assessed on 45 and 60 DAS (Days after sowing). Longest bettles were in T₆ on 45 DAS and T₄ on 60 DAS .T₅ on 45 DAS and T₃ on 60DAS had increased bettle diameter. Maximum bettle weight was in T₂ on 45 DAS. After incorporating chickpea,T₁₃ showed higher protein content and T₅ exhibited higher ascorbic acid content.
