sectors of the food industry in many European countries
for many years (Padel et al. 2008). Th e increase
in consumer demand for organic products in recent
years is quite obvious (Willer, Kilcher 2009).
Th is study was designed to identify which of selected
radish cultivars give the best yields when
grown organically in the Czech Republic, and
which contain the highest contents of nutritionally
important compounds, such as vitamin C, monosaccharides,
fi bre and selected minerals.
