Peculiarities of Radish Seed Breeding in Conditions of Ararat Valley

Ամփոփում

The aim of the current article is to study the impact of the measures taken via replanting of the radish seedlings and via leaving them in the sown areas (without replanting) on the morphological changes and seed productivity of the radish seed plants. The research results have evidenced that the replanting of the plant seedlings is the best option for the radish seed production. In case of replanting 5.5 % more seedpods with large and uniform seeds have been developed on the floriferous shoots of the seedlings and the seed productivity per plant has exceeded the rivaling variant by 66 %; besides, the average weight of 1000 seeds exceeded the competing variant by 2.5 g.
