This research study explores the impact of Niacin (Vitamin B3) application on the vegetative growth characteristics and mineral content of radish plant. The experiment was conducted using a Randomized Complete Block Design with four replicates per treatment. Compared the effects of foliar spray and soil irrigation with Niacin on radish growth. Results indicate that Niacin application, especially treatment SN2 with foliar spray at 80 mg/L, led to a significant enhancement of vegetative growth characteristics with radish plants showing leaf length of 21.95 cm, leaf width of 95.85 cm, 17.0 leaves per plant, and a root weight of 615.2 g. Also, treatment SN2 showed higher concentrations of nitrogen (0.19%), phosphorus (0.04%), potassium (1.61%), copper (13.66 mg/kg), and iron (10.91 mg/kg) in radish plants compared to control treatment. These findings highlight the effects of Niacin in promoting growth and enhancing nutrients, indicating its potential for optimizing nutrient management strategies in vegetable production systems.
