Radish growing environment and growing conditions

Radish Growth Environment and Conditions

Radishes are suitable for fleshy roots and prefer a moist and slightly humid environment. The effective water content of the soil is 70%, and the air humidity needs to be 85%. The higher the air humidity, the higher the quality. However, they are not tolerant to waterlogging. Too much water and lack of air in the soil are not conducive to root growth and absorption. If the soil lacks water, the spiciness of the fleshy roots will increase and the quality will be poor.

Radish is widely distributed in the world. It can be grown in all seasons in places with good climatic conditions. It is generally planted more in autumn and is one of the main vegetables in autumn and winter.

Radish Growing Conditions

Radish is suitable for planting in sandy loam with deep soil, loose and fertile soil and good water and fertilizer retention properties. The pH value of the soil should be 5.3-7. It needs sufficient light to grow, so that the fleshy roots will expand quickly and the yield will be high.

Radish growth temperature

Radish is slightly cold-resistant, with a suitable temperature for seed germination at 2-3 degrees and a suitable growth temperature between 20-25 degrees. It is resistant to both high and low temperatures during the seedling stage, and can withstand temperatures of 25 degrees and minus 2 to minus 3 degrees. The temperature for the growth of radish stems and leaves is 5-25 degrees, with a suitable temperature of 15-20 degrees. The temperature for the growth of fleshy roots is 6-20 degrees, with a suitable temperature of 18-20 degrees.

The growth process of radish

Planting time: Radish can be planted all year round, but the sowing time varies in different regions. In Hunan, it is generally planted from September to November. The yield and quality of radishes planted at this time are very good. If planted too late, they will be frostbitten. Wuhan generally sows in March and April, and North China sows in July and August, so you can choose the planting time according to different regions.

Growth process : The growth of radish mainly includes vegetative growth and reproductive growth. The first year of planting is the vegetative growth period, forming fleshy roots. After the winter dormancy period, it enters the reproductive growth period in the second year, and will experience sprouting, flowering, and seeding. If sown in early spring, radish can complete the entire growth and development process within one year.
