Abstract

Radish (Raphnus sativus L.) is an important root vegetable used mostly as salad. Due to continuous cultivation of this highly cross-pollinated crop a large variation in vegetative and root characters has occurred. With the result a wealth of radish germplasm is available in India. But for maximizing heterosis information regarding nature and magnitude of genetic distance among the genotypes and choosing diverse parental combinations is necessary. The multivariate analysis using Mahalanobis D2 statisticswas followed to obtain quantitative estimates of divergence.
