Abstract

Vernalization of germinated radish seeds at 5C for 8 days induced almost 100% flowering in about 40 days from emergence and the plants produced pods and seeds. The treatment of gibberellic acid on the young plants resulted to slight improvement in flowering. Nitrogen fertilization at 60 and 90 kgs. per hectare increased yields of fresh roots and seeds but better response to higher nitrogen fertilizer was obtained for seed production. Comparative computed net income indicates that seed production can be as profitable as the production of roots for fresh vegetables.
