Abstract
In the present study, determinants of radish yield in two districts of Punjab, Pakistan were ascertained using Cobb
Douglas type production function. Data were gathered from Sheikhupura and Sahiwal and a total of 97 radish
growers were interviewed from these districts using purposive sampling technique during 2003. Results indicated
that seed, fertilizer, labour hours used for weeding and education were positively related with radish yield whereas
non-availability of quality seed and plant protection were negatively related with radish yield. Educating the
vegetable growers to adopt modern technology and use appropriate inputs would increase radish yield to a great
extent.
Key words: Determinants, yield, radish, Punjab
