MORPHOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF RADISH (Raphanus sativus L.) VARIETIES IN FOOTHILL CONDITIONS OF UTTARAKHAND
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 63
Abstract
The present study entitled “Morphological evaluation of radish (Raphanus sativus L.) varieties in foothill conditions of Uttarakhand†was carried out in the experimental research area of Department of Horticulture, DCAST, Selaqui, Uttarakhand during 2015. Five different types of radish varieties were studied viz. 40 days, Green Neck, Long White (Hybrid), Snow White, Red Radish (Local) respectively. The analysis revealed highly significant differences among genotypes for all the traits. The germination per cent (66.75 %), plant height (60.05 cm), number of leaves per plant (16.50), length of leaves (25.54 cm) and fresh weight of leaves (46.72 gm) was found statistically superior in Long white (hybrid). The variety was also found outstanding for yield and its relative attributes i.e. root length (31.45 cm), root width (4.13 cm), fresh weight of root per plant (192.25 gm), yield of radish root without leaves (62.75 t/ha) and total yield of radish per plant (86.80 t/ha) as against the remaining four varieties i.e. Green Neck, Snow White, 40 days and Red Radish (Local). Thus, the variety Long White (hybrid) was found to be superior in its overall performance. Consequently, the genotype can be recommended for cultivation in the foot hill regions of Uttarakhand.
