Abstract:
Five exotic cultivars of radish (Raphanus sativus) in comparison with the local were evaluated for time taken to attain edible size, leaf and root character, length and breadth of root, top-root ratio, weight of root with and without leaves per plant and per hectare. These were planted on four different dates at the NWFP University of Agriculture, Peshawar, during the years 1981-82. Significant differences were observed with regards to the number of days for root to attain edible size, root length and breadth, and yield per hectare. However, the results of interaction between cultivars and sowing dates were non-significant. The cultivars 'Minna Ochali' and 'Shamura' were found the best in all respects.
