abstract
An investigation was conducted to assess the performance of various radish varieties, focusing on growth, yield, and quality attributes. Statistical analysis of the data revealed significant varietal differences across all parameters. For growth, Kashi Mooli-40 demonstrated the highest leaf count (10.73), while Pusa Desi exhibited the greatest shoot length (6.73 cm). The shoot length was maximum (6.73 cm) in Pusa Desi. The variety Kashi Lohit has recorded maximum (1223.87 cm²) leaf area. The variety Kashi Hans required minimum (43.33) number of days for the edible size of root. The significant differences in yield parameters were observed. The root weight and shoot weight was maximum in variety Kashi Hans and Pusa Himani had the highest root-to-shoot ratio (4.45). Ultimately, Pusa Reshmi was identified as the superior variety for yield, producing the maximum root yield of 33.23 kg per plot.
