Yield analysis of four radish (Raphanus sativus L. var. sativus) cultivars storage roots grown in controlled cabinets under varying temperatures and irrigation levels
Journal Title: International Journal of Farming and Allied Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Topsi, Famox F1, Corox F1, and Altox F1 radish cultivars grown in controlled continuous 20 and 12oC cabinets and they subjected to 0, 33, 66, and 100% depletion of peat moss available water capacity (AWC). The objective of this experiment was to analyze the yield of four cultivars of radish in response to varying continuous (no thermoperiodism) temperatures and irrigation levels. The obtained results revealed that 12oC tended to hasten the swelling of hypocotyl and performed better storage root yield on the account of leaves, especially when combined with adequate irrigation. 20oC temperatures substantially increased leaves yield on the account of storage roots, particularly when combined with adequate watering. Severe drought gave reduced entire plants, storage roots and leaves yields significantly. The significance order of cultivars categorized in to the following: Altox F1> Corox F1>Famox F1> Topsi, where Topsi appeared to favour 20oC. Adequately irrigated Altox F1 grown at continuous 12oC was the paramount treatment, as it gave the best yield of plant and storage roots. Other interaction treatments discussed in the results and discussion section.
