Radish Yield

Raphanus sativus L.

An indicator of radish productivity, measured in centners per hectare (dt/ha) for root crop varieties, and in tonnes per hectare (t/ha) of green mass and seeds for oilseed radish.

In the reference 12 varieties crop Radish, where this is mentioned in the description.

For root radish varieties, yield recording includes weighing the production from a plot, documenting the root weight, foliage mass, and marketability. In research practice, the yield of absolute dry matter may additionally be assessed to characterize product quality during storage.

For oilseed radish, productivity is evaluated at the stage of technical maturity or prior to use as green manure. The yield potential of modern varieties of this species ranges from 35–50 t/ha of green mass and 1.5–2.5 t/ha of seeds; in variety trials, these indicators are always compared against the established standard.

Radish yield is closely linked to the biological characteristics of the variety, its resistance to root rot, and the length of the growing season. The assessment also takes into account the root shape index and uniformity, which determine the suitability of the produce for mechanized harvesting and subsequent storage.
