Long-Term Seed Storage Studies in Radish (Raphanus sativus L.)

Radish is an important root vegetable crop widely cultivated for its tender roots as well as for succulent foliage and immature pods which are used largely in salad and in culinary purposes and propagated through seeds. The information on storability as well as on extent of recovery of quality seeds...
