How to plant red radish and when is the best month to plant it?

The best time to plant carrots

The planting time for red radish is mainly from June to July every summer, so that it can mature and be put on the market in winter. According to market demand, it can also be sown and planted in other seasons, so the specific planting time can be determined according to actual conditions.

Red radish planting methods and key points

1. Site selection and land preparation: First, choose a suitable planting site. Do not plant in low-lying areas with stagnant water and difficult drainage. The planting site needs to be high, with dry soil, good air permeability, a water source with convenient drainage, and the soil should be mainly fertile sandy soil.

2. Sowing: After preparing the carrot seeds, you can start sowing. The main sowing methods are hole sowing and broadcast sowing. Sow the seeds evenly in the soil. Cover the soil appropriately after sowing to keep the soil moist and promote the germination of carrot seeds.

3. Management during the seedling stage: After the red radish emerges, thin out and determine the seedlings in time. After the first thinning, carry out inter-row cultivation and weeding. Do a good job of water and fertilizer management. Water in time according to the growth period to keep the soil moist. Apply thin fertilizer between the period when the red radish breaks white and the period when it expands.

Points to note in daily management of red radish

1. Watering: Red radish needs a lot of water during its growth period, so irrigation work must be done well, especially in summer, when watering should be frequent. Water evaporates faster in summer. In order not to affect its growth, you can water it once in the morning and evening.

2. Fertilization: Fertilization is essential during the growth period of red radish. If you want to achieve a perfect red radish, you can apply some special organic fertilizer to it, so that the shape of the fruit grown will be very standard. You can also combine it with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizers to achieve the goal of high yield.
