Abstract
Radish, Raphanus sativus L., is cultivated globally and exists as two broad categories according to the size of the swollen hypocotyl and taproot. Throughout temperate regions, a small-rooted, short-season radish is cultivated exclusively as a salad crop. Such radishes differ in shape (elongated to flattened spheres) and skin colour (white or red), with the main economic varieties exhibiting a spherical root with red skin and white flesh. The other major group of radish, the large-rooted types, are widely grown in the Far East and are adapted to both temperate and tropical conditions and exhibit a greater diversity of phenotype compared to Western varieties in terms of colour of skin (green, yellow, purple and black) and flesh (white, red, purple and green). Two other minor forms of radish are also cultivated, but not as a root crop. Mougri-radish (rat-tail) is mainly grown in south-east Asia for its edible leaves and very long (80 cm in length) immature seed pods. Fodder radish, is also cultivated for its foliage but is used as fodder or green manure in south-east Asia and parts of Western Europe.
