Correlation and regression studies in radish under valley condition of Garhwal hills

Abstract

The Field experiment was conducted at Horticultural Research Centre, H.N.B. Garhwal University, Srinagar- Garhwal, Uttarakhand (India) during rabi season 2014-15 to evolution of 22 varieties of radish for yield potential and suitability under valley condition of Garhwal hills. The yield parameters showed significantly maximum root yield per hectare was recorded in variety of Evergreen. The plant height, number of leaves, days taken to harvest, length of root, diameter of root, total wt of plant, weight of leaf showed significant and positive correlation with root yield of radish. Unit increase in these character increases root yield 485.8, 1403.4, 561.3, 942.6, 77.1, 1557.8, 79.6 and 132.1 kg/ha, respectively. Negative correlation was obtained with TSS, Acidity and vit C.
