Abstract

An opportunity exists for Australia to satisfy windows in the Asian market for Daikon.
As a root crop of low value, export to these markets via sea freight is the only viable option.
This requires a postharvest life of about 4 weeks.
Preliminary studies have shown that the major limiting factor to a 4 weeks postharvest life is the physiological disorder "pithiness" whereby air spaces form in the root and render it unmarketable.
The objectives of this study were to investigate the growth pattern of the crop (as this was largely unknown) and then to undertake a closer anatomical study of pithiness.
