Abstract: A field experiment was carried out at Department of Horticulture, College of Agriculture, V.N.M.K.V., Parbhani. The field experiment was carried out in Factorial Randomized Block Design with three replication On Variety “Ruby Queen†during the Rabi season, 2017. Treatment consisted of three levels of spacing S1 (15cm ×15cm), S2 (20cm×15cm) and S3 (30cm×15cm) and three levels of fertilizers F1 (100% RDF), F2 (125% RDF)and F3 (150% RDF). Growth characters such as number of leaves per plant at harvest (15.64) were observed maximum with the treatments S3 and F3 with (15.88). Growth characters such as number of leaves per plant at harvest (15.64) were observed maximum with the treatments S3 and F3 with (15.88). Yield characters like length of root (15.61 cm), weight of root per plant (152.80 g), weight of root per plot (10.55 kg) and weight of root per hectare (258.18q) were observed maximum with the treatments S3 and yield characters like length of root (16.57 cm), weight of root per plant (170.84 g), weight of root per plot (10.37 kg) and weight of root per hectare (289.26 q) were observed maximum with the treatments F3.The yield per plot (8.23 kg) and yield per ha (290.60 q) were observed maximum with the treatments S1 and yield per plot (7.72 kg) and yield per ha (280.77 q) were observed maximum with the treatments F3. The quality characters like TSS (11.63%), total sugar (8.50%), anthocyanin content (33.02 mg/100g) and iron content (1.14 mg/100g) were observed maximum with the treatment S3 and quality characters like TSS (11.62%), total sugar (8.45%), anthocyanin content (35.77 mg/100g) and iron content (1.18 mg/100g) were observed maximum with the treatment F1.
