BENWASEN, BRYAN D. APRIL 2013. Variety Trial of Radish (Raphanus sativus
L.) Under Boklaoan, Kapangan, Benguet Condition. Benguet State University.
Adviser: Percival B. Alipit, PhD.

ABSTRACT

The study was conducted to evaluate the growth and yield of five varieties of radish
and to determine the varieties suitable under Boklaoan, Kapangan, Benguet condition.

Results showed that varieties Minowase and Snowy significantly emerged the
earliest, while variety Red Round Chereitte SK was harvested earlier. Variety Minowase
had the highest marketable and total root yield and widest root diameter. The longest roots
were measured from varieties Minowase and Snowy. Variety Minowase significantly had
the highest marketable yield from which the highest return on investment of 80% was
obtained.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Number of Days from Sowing to Emergence and
to Harvesting and Plant Height


Table 1 shows that Snow White 45D KS and Sinandok CD significantly emerged
the earliest at five days from sowing compared to the other varieties.

As presented in Table 1, Red Round Chereitte SK significantly was harvested the
earliest at 45 days from seedling emergence.

In Table 1, Snowy was significantly the tallest while the shortest was Red Round
Chereitte SK.

Number of Roots

As seen in Table 3, all the varieties except Red Round Chereitte SK significantly
had more marketable roots ranging 69-74 roots per plot.

Table 3 shows that Red Round Chereitte SK significantly had the highest number
of unmarketable roots. Minowase and Snowy had the lowest number of unmarketable
roots.

Red Round Chereitte SK significantly had the lowest total number of roots
harvested (Table 3).

Weight of Roots

Table 4 shows that Minowase significantly had the highest marketable and total
root weight compared to the other varieties. This could be attributed to bigger size roots
harvested from this variety.

On the other hand, significantly heavier unmarketable roots were taken from Red
Round Chereitte SK (Table 4).

Insect Pest and Disease Incidence

As presented in Table 7, Minowase, Snow White 45D KS, Snowy, and Sinandok
CD were resistant to cut worm except Red Round Chereitte SK.

Minowase and Snowy were resistant to root rot (Table 7) that would imply that the
cultivars may suitable in the locality.

Cost and Return Analysis

Table 8 shows that the highest return on investment of 80% was obtained from
Minowase followed by Snowy, Sinandok CD, Snow White 45D KS, and Red Round
Chereitte SK.
This shows that the yield potential of certain cultivars and the quality of yield are
the factors in the profitability.

SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION


Summary

The study was conducted to evaluate different varieties of radish as to their growth
and yield performance and to determine the varieties that are suitable under the condition
of Boklaoan, Kapangan, Benguet.

Results show that Snow White 45D KS and Sinandok CD emerged the earliest
while Red Round Chereitte Sk was significantly the earliest to be harvest at 45 days.

Any of the varieties had more harvested roots than Red Round Chereitte SK.
Minowase significantly had the highest marketable and total root yield and had wider roots.
All the varieties except Red Round Chereitte SK were resistant to cut worm and Minowase
and Snowy were resistant to root rot. The highest return on investment at 80% was obtained
from growing Minowase.
Conclusion

Based on the results, Minowase could perform well in Boklaoan, Kapangan,
Benguet condition.
Recommendation

It is then recommended that cultivar Minowase be grown in Boklaoan, Kapangan,
Benguet to obtain high yield and profit.
