After the radish is sown, water and fertilizer management should be done well. Water should be applied according to the different growth stages, but water should not accumulate in the soil to prevent root rot. A large amount of fertilizer is needed during the growth period. Topdressing should be done well to supplement nutrients. Weeding should also be done during the growth period to remove the weeds that appear to prevent excessive consumption of nutrients.
