Root cutting propagations of four radish (Raphanus sativus L. var. sativus)

Topsi, Famox F1, Corox F1, and Altox F1 radish cultivars grown in controlled 12oC cabinets and adequately irrigated by 0% depletion of peat moss available water capacity (AWC). The objective of this experiment was to produce new plants from storage root cutting, as selection for more resistance for storage root pithiness. The obtained results manifested that all examined cultivars produced leaves and efficient roots capable to continue their life to produce seeds, particularly Altox F1 and Corox F1.
