When and how to plant radish

Radish planting time

Water radish is generally planted between May and August each year. It prefers a warm and humid growing environment, so the latest planting time cannot exceed October. However, there are certain differences in planting time between the south and the north. If the climate is more suitable, it can be sown all year round in the south.

How to plant radish

1. Soil: When planting radish, you need to choose sandy loam with deep, loose and fertile soil. After selecting a good plot of land, you need to remove the foreign roots and weeds of the previous crop, and deep plow and level the land.

2. Sowing: When sowing radish, you need to dig furrows and sow in rows, and water it sufficiently. After the water has penetrated, sow the seeds. Generally, replanting is required 5-6 days after sowing to ensure full seedlings.

3. Maintenance: After sowing, radish needs a suitable growth temperature to promote its germination. During the day, it is best to keep it at around 18 degrees, and at night it needs to be kept at around 12 degrees. When the seedlings grow to 3 true leaves, it is also necessary to do a good job of seedling supplementation.

Things to note when planting radish

When caring for water radish, you need to pay attention to the fact that its demand for water and fertilizer is not very high, so it needs frequent watering and fertilization. Generally, two top dressings are sufficient in the later stage of growth. During normal maintenance, just maintain sufficient sunlight.
