An experiment entitled the Influence of organic manures and Inorganic fertilizers on growth, yield and quality of turnip (Brassica rapa L.) cv. Purple Top white globe was conducted at Department of Horticulture, Naini Agriculture Institute, SHUATS, Prayagraj during, Rabi season of 2022. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with fifteen treatments combination and three replications in which Farmyard manure (FYM), Poultry manure, Vermicompost were used. Among all the treatments, T11 (80% Nitrogen + 10% FYM + 10% Vermicompost) showed significant result in terms of plant height (29.13cm), maximum number of leaves/plant (13.81), higher Shoot weight (166.81g), maximum Root diameter (7.40 cm), average root length (9.04 cm), average fresh weight/ plant (162.59 g), average root yield (55.77 q/ha), ascorbic acid (36.19 mg), TSS (6.08o Brix).
