Radish planting conditions and growing environment conditions

Radish planting conditions

Radish likes a warm environment and is slightly cold-resistant. The seeds can germinate between 2 and 3 degrees, and the optimum temperature is 20-25 degrees. It can withstand high temperatures of 25 degrees in the seedling stage, and low temperatures of minus 2 to minus 3 degrees. The temperature for the growth of radish stems and leaves is 5-25 degrees, and the optimum temperature is 15-20 degrees. The temperature for the growth of fleshy roots is 6-20 degrees, and the optimum temperature is 18-20 degrees.

Radish Growing Climate

Radish is slightly cold-resistant. The seeds can start to germinate at 2-3℃. The seedlings can withstand higher temperatures and can still grow normally at 25℃. They can also withstand temperatures as low as minus 2 degrees. The suitable growth temperature is 15-20℃. When the temperature is below 0℃, the fleshy roots are easily damaged by frost.

Suitable areas for growing radish

Radish has a wide adaptability to soil, but if you want to increase yield and quality, it is best to plant it in sandy loam and loam with deep soil, looseness, fertility, good drainage and high porosity. It generally grows poorly in heavy clay soil with poor air permeability and low-lying and poorly drained areas. The pH value should be between 5-8 and not lower than 5. It is grown all over the country.

Radish planting time

Radish can be planted in spring, summer, autumn and winter. The planting time in spring is from February to April, in summer it is from May to June, in autumn it is from July to August, and in winter it is in mid-to-early September.

Benefits of radish planting

Under normal circumstances, the yield of radish per acre is 8,000 kilograms, and in some areas it can exceed 10,000 kilograms. The market price is about 50 cents. After deducting the cost, one acre of land can make about 3,000 yuan. If the planting scale is small, farmers can choose retail. The retail price is almost twice the wholesale price, and the profit is considerable, but it is more hard work.
