Crop manipulation to improve hybrid radish seed yield and quality : A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Lincoln University
Hybrid radish (Raphanus sativus L.) seed is grown in New Zealand for multiplication and re-export, and radish seed exports were worth $22.8 million in 2017. Seed yields vary with hybrid and season, but are reduced by lodging, which reduces seed filling, increases disease problems, and causes …
