Storage roots 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 3
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 storage roots of four radish cultivars storage roots in response to varying continuous (no thermoperiodism) temperatures and irrigation levels. The obtained results revealed that 12oC showed efficacies to improve the dry weight, fresh weight, diameter, W: L ratio and volume of storage roots, epecially when combined with adequate irrigation as compared to 20oC, which highly increased length of storage roots, particularly when combined with severe drought. 0% AWC depletion was the most potent treatment in improving the storage root performance, as compared to other irrigation treatments, particularly 100% AWC depletion.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 storage roots possesses diameter higher than their corresponding length.
