| dc.description.abstract | The present investigation entitled “Performance of some improved and local varieties of Radish (Raphanus sativus L.)” was carried out during Rabi 2012-13 at the Instructional Cum Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, College of Agriculture, Latur. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (R.B.D.) with twelve treatments replicated with thrice. Twelve varieties of radish were used for the study as treatments. The varieties include nine improved radish varieties viz., Pusa Chetaki, Pusa Reshmi, Ankur Naveen, Radish J.W, Minakshi, Ketaki long. Radish Selection, Indem Sweta, Ganesh synthetic and three local varieties viz., Latur Local, Pune Local, Solapur Local. The experiment framed was intended to study die growth, yield and quality performance of different radish varieties and to find out superior radish variety having high yield potential with better quality roots. The observations on different growth yield and quality attributes were recorded and subjected to the statistical analysis. The results of the present investigation clearly showed significant differences with respect to the growth, yield and quality attributes of different radish varieties under study. As regards to the growth parameters the variety Pune local has produced maximum (9.27) number of leaves.The shoot length was maximum (6.80 cm) in Ketaki long. The variety Ganesh Synthetic has recorded maximum (1440.80 cm) leaf area.The variety Pusa Chetaki required minimum (44) number of days required for attaining the alible size of root The significant variations in yield parameters were obsrerved.The weight of whole plant, root weight and shoot weight was maximum in variety Ankur Naveen. The maximum root: shoot ratio (6.54) was observed in variety Ketaki long. The minimum cracked roots (0.54 per cent) was observed in variety Pusa Reshmi and Ganesh Synthetic. The minimum (0.94 per cent) forking was recorded in variety Indem Sweta. The weight and percentage of unmarketable roots were observed minimum in Ganesh Synthetic. The variety Indem Sweta produced maximum root yield (37.75 t/ha). The marketable yield was highest (36.17 t/ha) in variety Indem Sweta and it was at par with the varieties Pusa Reshmi, Ketaki long and Pusa Chetaki. The quality parameters also showed significant variations among varieties. The maximum length of root (30.13 cm) and girth of root (10.78 cm) was recorded in variety Ankur Naveen while, diameter was maximum (3.17 cm) in variety Pune local. The maximum dry matter (8.58) were observed in variety Ankur Naveen while, minimum (1.67) in variety Minakshi. The roots of varieties Indem Sweta, Radish J. W, Ganesh Synthetic, Latur local and Pune local remain in good condition up to 12 days and it was at par with variety Solapur local. The variety Radish J.W., Ganesh Synthetic, Pusa Reshmi and Indem Sweta have performed better with respect to overall rating for the organoleptic test. The correlation studies indicated that the root yield of radish was positively correlated with growth as well as different root characters. In nutshell, the radish varieties Indem Sweta, Ankur Naveen, Ganesh Synthetic and Pusa Reshmi had shown the significantly superior performance with respect to most of the growth, yield and quality attributes. Hence, these varieties are suitable for agroclimatic conditions of Marathwada. Among local varieties, the variety Pune local had performed better. Hence this genotype can be involved in further breeding programme for improving the yield and quality of radish. | en_US |
