Abstract
Segregating population of exotic hybrid radish was studied for their variability in seed yield and seed yield contributing characters. Segregating populations produced three different colored roots like, white, red and mixed (white-red). Among the populations all the characters showed significant variation. Highest Co-efficient of variation (CV) were found for number of pods and total seed weight per plant and lowest CV for days to seed maturity. Positive and significant correlation was found between total seed weight and total pods per plant. On the other hand, negative and significant correlation was found between total seed weight and days to pod maturity. A good number of populations produced more than fifteen-gram seedper plant. Populations having seed yield ranges from 14.99-24.99g and >24.99 g could be used as high seed yielding population in further varietal improvement program. Selection would be effective for days to pod maturity and total pods per plant considering total seed yield.
