A significant and negative association of number of leaves per plant at 90 DAS was observed with root yield per plant (-0.261). The correlation of fresh root weight was highly significant and positive associated with root length at 90 DAS (0.399), flesh: pith ratio (0.325) and root yield per plant (-0.267) was recorded significant and negative correlation for the same trait. Root length at 90 DAS showed positive and significant effect on root diameter at 90 DAS (0.271), pith diameter (0.269) and root yield per plant (0.258).Root diameter at 90 DAS exhibited a positive and highly significant association with core diameter (0.335), root yield per plant (0.616), flesh thickness of root at 90 DAS (0.257), leaf: root ratio (0.303) and pith diameter (0.271).
