Studies on Plant Density in Radish (Raphanus sativus Linn.)

Abstract

In cultivation of tuber crops, over crowding of plants affects their growth and development resulting in mis-shapen and ill-developed tubers. Liberal sowing of seeds and subsequent thinning of plants in tuber crops assure perfect stand and also impart market appeal with better size and shape of tubers. An experiment was conducted in the Vegetable Section, Coimbatore to ascertain the optimum number of plants of radish (Raphanus sativus Linn.) per hill and the results are presented.
