Water consumptive use of Radish (Rhapanus sativus L. Var sativus), as influenced by varying temperatures
Journal Title: International Journal of Farming and Allied Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 1
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 water consumptive use, water use efficiency and irrigation frequencies in response to 12 and 20oC temperatures. The obtained results revealed that water consumptive use, water use efficiency, and irrigation frequencies for radish grown at 20oC were 143.93 mm, 232.3 ml.g-1 edible biomass and 14.5, respectively. However, 12oC substantially reduced these parameters to 99.39mm, 82 ml.g-1 and 9.5, respectively. 0%AWC depletion gave the highest water consumptive use (167.91949mm), water use efficiency (218.1 ml.g-1), and irrigation frequencies (24). The lowest observed in 100%AWC depletion, which were 89.48mm, 163.1 ml.g-1 and 3.5, respectively. Radish irrigated by 0%AWC grown at 20oC gave the highest consumptive use (205.6157mm), water use efficiency (360.4 ml.g-1) and irrigation frequencies (30). The lowest observed in radish grown at 12oC irrigated by 100%AWC, which were 77.10589mm, 108, and 3, respectively.
