Radish (Raphanus sativus) a member of the mustard family, it is a root veggie. This plant, which can be perennial root. The radish is a vegetable that was probably domesticated in Asia or the Mediterranean region. The veggie, which has few calories, is typically consumed raw, though the young leaves can be prepared similarly to spinach. There are numerous radish varieties, one of which is the "Cherry Belle," a round radish with a bright crimson exterior and a white interior. Raphanus sativus have chemical components that can improve the body's natural adiponectin secretion and help control blood sugar levels, is cultivated for its sizable, succulent tap.
After a period of dormancy, the radish spore seeds begin to emerge, germination determines crop success in the field. It can be negatively impacted by soil conditions.
Salinity, acidity and alkaline soil conditions can slow or stop germination of the crops. In this study radish (Raphanus sativus) was exposed to salinity, acidity and alkaline soil conditions. The impactson germination, plant height and root length were measured.
The emergence, shoot and root length of the plants were measured on 3rd, 6th, 9th and 13th day of the experiment. The findings of this study will be able to provide insight into the effects of environmental stressors on plant growth and inform future research on crop management and sustainability.Based on observations, salinity and alkalinity, when compared to acidity, had a detrimental effect on plant growth and development. Throughout the course of the 13-dayexperiment, all seeds of radish germinate in the control soil, few seedlings germinate in soil that has been treated with acid, and no seeds germinate in salty and alkaline soils. With acid-treated soil, there was no change in germination percentage between any of the replications. Increased acid concentrations resulted in a decrease in plant height. Greatest root length and chlorophyll fluorescence, outside of the control, was found in the acid treatment.
