Radish planting time

There are many varieties of radish, so it can be planted all year round. It is usually sown in spring from February to April, in summer from May to June, and in autumn and winter from July to September respectively. It grows very fast and seedlings can grow after half a month of sowing.

Planting methods and key points of radish

1. Land preparation and fertilization

Radishes have well-developed roots, so you need to choose a plot with deep soil and plow the soil in advance, usually more than 33 cm deep. It requires a lot of fertilizer, so make sure to add enough base fertilizer and mix it evenly with the soil to facilitate plant absorption.

2. Planting

Radishes are planted by direct seeding, with an average of 400-500 grams of seeds per acre. After sowing, cover with a two-centimeter layer of fine soil. The seedlings emerge very quickly. To prevent the plants from growing too tall, thinning should be done when the first true leaf unfolds. Select the healthy seedlings and pull out the rest.

Matters Needing Attention in Planting Radish

1. If there is insufficient water, the radish will taste spicier and the flesh will be rough. If there is too much water, it will easily grow too tall. During the seedling stage, water in small amounts and multiple times to promote rooting and facilitate growth and development.

2. The growth of radish requires loose soil with good permeability. In the season for planting radish, weeds are easy to grow. Weed frequently and pay attention to soil cultivation to make the radish grow upright.
