Turnip, Brassica rapa, fertilizer, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, manureAbstract
The turnip (Brassica rapa) is an important plant from genus Brassica which is mostly cultivated as a vegetable crop. Usually, it is grown in the season when the temperature is low. The current review focuses on the importance of turnip due to its pharmacological importance and high phytochemical profile. Using different types of fertilizers can directly affect the growth and production of turnip. While growing turnip, inorganic and organic fertilizers can be used for the sake of higher yields. Among organic fertilizers, well rotten farmyard manure, poultry manure, and peat moss can be used. Whereas, Nitrogen (urea), Phosphorus (DAP) and Potassium (SOP) can be used in combinations as inorganic fertilizers to obtain good results. While using the organic fertilizers higher growth rate, yield, improved soil structure, low erosion, lower soil temperatures, soil aeration, help in developing healthy roots, facilitation in seed germination and increased soil water retention capacity can be observed. However, through inorganic fertilizers fast growth and easy availability to the crop can be obtained; moreover, inorganic fertilizers are convenient, affordable and can be provided in ample amounts. Literature review has revealed that the application of organic or synthetic fertilizers is necessary for the better growth of turnip plants.
