Germination performance of four Radish (Rhapanus sativus L. Var sativus) seeds under varying temperatures
Journal Title: International Journal of Farming and Allied Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Seeds of Topsi, Famox F1, Corox F1, and Altox F1 radish cultivars germinated in controlled 20 and 12oC cabinets. The objective of this experiment was to determine the seed germination performances of four radish cultivars in response to 12 and 20oC temperatures. The obtained results revealed that 12oC increased percentage of final germination, peak germination and reduced dead seed percentages. In contrast, 20oC hastened seeds germination through reducing the duration required for first emergence, peak germination, germination rates, and final germination. However, it increased the percentage of dead seeds. Cultivars categorized according to their significance as the following: Corox F1> Altox F1> Famox F1> Topsi. All cultivars performed better at 120C than 20oC.
