White radish (Raphanus sativus L.) belongs to the Cruciferae family, and is one of the most valuable vegetable crops due to its nutritional and medicinal properties. White radish is often a vegetable grown in backyards, so a relatively high number of local populations can be found.The paper presents the results of testing 12 populations of white radish collected on the territory of Serbia. Their morphological and chemical properties were compared with the standard Winter White variety.In the three-year period (2011-2014), the following morphological characteristics were analyzed: average root mass, root blight, root neck diameter, root center diameter. Dry matter, total minerals, total sugars and water were determined by chemical analysis. The aim was to examine the quality of the collected populations of white radish and their possibility of inclusion in the selection process in order to create new varieties of white radish at the Institute for Vegetable Crops.
