The present study was carried out at Experimental Unit, Tilak Dhari Post Graduate College, Jaunpur Uttar Pradesh during winter season of 2018-19 to investigate growth, yield and qualitative parameters of various radish varieties. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (R.B.D.) with ten treatments and three replicatations. Ten varieties of radish, used for the study as treatments were viz., Pusa Chetaki, Pusa Himani, Kashi Hans, Subhra-32, Menu Early, Desi Local, Japanese White, Palak Patta, Kashi Sweta and Local-1. The growth parameters like Germination percentage (%) was maximum in Kashi Sweta (95.03 %), while it was minimum in Local-1 (81.20 %), The maximum plant height (56.52 cm), Number of leaves/plant (19.81), Leaf length (33.38 cm), Leaf width (13.04 cm), Chlorophyll contents (42.82 SPAD), Root length (30.89cm), Root Diameter (54.64 mm), Root weight (165.46gm), Leaf weight (110.38 gm), Whole plant weight (275.870 gm), Root yield/plot (4.467 kg) and Root yield/ha (446.50 q) were found in Kashi Sweta. Whereas the minimum plant height (40.96 cm), Number of leaves/plant (9.86), Leaf length (21.56 cm), Leaf width (7.05 cm), Chlorophyll contents (33.38 SPAD), Root length (19.50 cm), Root Diameter (38.83 mm), Root weight (121.15 gm), Leaf weight (80.94 gm), Whole plant weight (202.093 gm), Root yield/plot (3.271 kg) and Root yield/ha (327.07 q) were found in Local-1.
