The purpose of the research was to study the effect of organic and mineral fertilization on radish plants of various varieties. The results of experiments on the influence of various fertilization systems on productivity and commodity indicators of radishes in the conditions of seasonal soil greenhouses are presented. Research was conducted during 2023–2025 at the agrobiological station of Zhytomyr State University according to a two-factor scheme, where one of the factors was the radish variety Early harvest, Celeste F1, Espresso F1 and the other – fertilization (without fertilizers, mineral, organic and their combination with fertilization). Fertilization has been found to be a determining factor in the formation of radish yield, the share of exposure to which is 62%, while the impact of the – variety is 18%. On the control, the yield was 1.75–1.94 kg/m² depending on the variety. The application of mineral fertilizers provided a yield increase of 23–33%, organic – of 35–43%, while the combination of basic fertilization with fertilization increased the yield by 58–69%. The maximum indicators were obtained in the version of organic fertilization with additional feeding. Among the varieties studied, the highest productivity was provided by Celeste F1, which exceeded other varieties both in yield (up to +1.29 kg/m² or 66% before control) and in root crop weight (up to 32.3 g). The Espresso F1 variety occupied an intermediate position, showing a high response to the improvement of feeding conditions (increase up to 69%), while the Early harvest variety was characterized by lower absolute indicators, but also responded positively to fertilization. It was established that the intensity of nutrition affects not only the general level of productivity, but also the realization of the genetic potential of varieties. As fertilization levels increase, variance between varieties increases, suggesting more efficient nutrient use by more productive hybrids. The greatest mass of root crop (27.7–32.3 g) was provided by the combined application of organic and mineral fertilizers.
