Default Shortened radials: which length?

I was wondering if it's possible to shorten the radials from the standard
1/4 wavelength to another value, a smaller one. For example, in a 20 meters
antenna, which is the best value of length for shortened radials or, in
alternative, until which value is possible to go to without superlosses?
Thanks in advance

Hi Francesco,

On the ground, or elevated?
