ABSTRACT
The main objective of this research was to test different levels of water reposition based on field capacity and irrigation frequencies on radish(Raphanussativus). The treatments consisted of 3 levels of water reposition based on 60, 80 and 100% of the water depleted daily, measured by weighing the pots 2 frequencies of irrigatio (once and twice a day). Significant differences ocurred for the accessed variables. Based on the results, it mav be concluded that the higher yields for plant root and shoot were obtained when the water applied was equivalent to 100% of the water depleted daily, independently of frequency of application.
Key words:
water deplet; field capacity; Raphanus sativus
