Physiological disorders 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 2016, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Topsi, Famox F1, Corox F1, and Altox F1 radish cultivars grown in controlled 20 and 12oC cabinets and they subjected to 0, 33, 66, and 100% depletion of peat moss available water capacity (AWC) to determine cracking, pithiness, rootless and malformed storage roots of radish in response to varying temperatures and irrigation levels. Therefore, seeds sown in trays filled with peat moss and then subjected to the continuous 12 and 20oC. 20oC temperature significantly increased the incidences of storage root pithiness, malformed storage roots and plants failed to form storage roots, particularly in Topsi Cultivar. However, 12oC substantially increased radial and longitudinal cracks of storage roots. Inadequate watering substantially increased cracking incidences in storage roots, particularly with 66 and 100%AWC depletions. Cultivars ordered according to their potencies as following: Altox F1, Corox F1> Famox F1> Topsi.
