Abstract

Radish (Raphanus sativus L.) is an important root vegetable crop suitable for both tropical and temperate climate. Among the root vegetables, radish is the most popular and widely grown pungent one known for its fresh edible roots and good source of Ca, K, P and Vitamin C. The edible roots can be used as raw, as salad or cooked. Being a short duration and quick growing crop, it is highly suited for sequence cropping and as intercrop or companion crop in the wider spaced orchard crops (Mapari et al., 2010). The growth and yield of radish greatly depends on soil and climatic conditions. Different varieties have different soil and climatic requirements for their optimum performance
