Genetic variability in radish (Raphanus sativus L.)

Abstract

In the present investigation, highly significant differences were observed among all the thirty diverse genotypes of radish for all the characters. The highest genotypic co-efficient of variation as well as phenotypic co-efficient of variation was observed for root to leaf ratio among yield attributing traits, calcium content among biochemical parameters. Almost all the traits exhibited high heritability ranging from 73.85-99.96%. Highest genetic advance as percent of mean was also observed for all the characters ranging from 15.13-238.10%.
