Radish planting time and method

Radish planting time

Radishes are suitable to be planted in early to mid-August each year, so that they can be harvested around November. If the land is of poor fertility and relatively barren, they can be sown in advance, which can extend the growing period and increase the yield. If the land is fertile, they can be sown later.

Radish Planting Method

1. Screening the soil

To plant radishes, you need to first choose a relatively suitable piece of soil. Radishes require that the soil have a certain basic fertility, be relatively fertile, and have a loose and porous structure and good drainage and air permeability. The most important thing is that cruciferous plants cannot be planted in the previous crop, otherwise it will be detrimental to the growth and development of radishes.

2. Sowing seeds

The germination ability of radish seeds is relatively weak. In order to ensure that radish has sufficient breeding scale and survival rate, it is generally necessary to dig many holes at a certain distance on the selected soil, and then put 4 seeds in each hole and fill it with soil. This can ensure the survival rate.

3. Control temperature

Radish is a crop that has a certain degree of cold resistance and low temperature tolerance, but its tolerance to high temperatures is relatively poor. Therefore, after sowing, it is necessary to ensure that the surrounding temperature does not exceed 22 degrees Celsius and the minimum temperature is not lower than 3 degrees Celsius. Only in this way can the radish grow healthily and rapidly.

Radish planting precautions

Generally, seedlings will grow out in about 7 days after sowing radish. The seedlings themselves will have different growth tendencies due to differences in nutrients, water and seed quality. During their growth period, thinning of the seedlings is required to remove seedlings that are too weak, thin and fallen, and regular inspections of the fields are required to remove weeds.
