Yield — Black Radish

Raphanus sativus L. var. niger (Mill.) S. Kerner

The yield of black radish is measured in t/ha and serves as an integral breeding metric, combining root mass, foliage, and plant morphometric parameters. In the Non-Chernozem zone, modern cultivars are capable of achieving yields exceeding 35 t/ha.

In the reference 14 varieties crop Black radish, where this is mentioned in the description.

When evaluating breeding lines, yield is calculated based on field trials using analysis of variance. This metric correlates closely with plant stand density, with optimal values ranging from 100,000 to 300,000 plants per hectare. The cultivar 'Zimnyaya Kruglyaya Chernaya' is often used as a standard for comparative variety assessment.

The realization of genetic yield potential is limited by sowing dates and moisture regimes. Early sowing dates in central and northern regions provoke premature bolting, which reduces marketable productivity. Moisture deficit during the growing season leads not only to an overall reduction in root mass but also to the formation of internal cavities, flaccidity, and a loss of market quality.
