Abstract
The objective of the studies carried out in 2000–2001 was to characterize 16 morphological characters of leaves and yields of the main roots and root cuttings of four Polish ecotypes of horseradish (Armoracia rusticana Gaertn.): Mazaniec, Lipnik, Tądle and Osjaków, cultivated in two localities differing in both soil and climatic conditions. The experiments were performed simultaneously in the environs of Wieluń (the region where the ecotypes have been cultivated) and in the Experimental Field of the Department of Vegetable and Medicinal Plants of Warsaw University (SGGW) in Wilanów. Chemical analyses were done to determine the content of dry matter, vitamin C and total sugar as well as the activity of peroxidase. Volatile components were identified using gas chromatography. The altered soil and climatic conditions in the Experimental Field had no influence on 14 of the 16 (nearly 90%) morphological traits of leaves. However, they did strongly affect yield of the main roots produced by ecotypes Osjaków (increase) and Tądle (decrease). Similar results were obtained with the crop of root cuttings, Tądle being the most fertile ecotype in both vegetation periods and both cultivation localities. The content of dry matter, total sugar and vitamin C markedly depended on plant ecotype as well as soil and climatic conditions. The plants cultivated in the Experimental Field generally contained a greater amount of allyl isothiocyanate and peroxidase than those grown in the environs of Wieluń. The oxidation of pyrogallol catalysed by horseradish peroxidase was most intensive during the initial 30 seconds.
