Raphanus sativus - Slovana

Radish is a root vegetable originating from Japan. It is characterized by its distinctive taste and is undemanding to grow. Its piquant flavor comes from mustard oil. Radishes contain high amounts of vitamin C and folic acid. They also contain calcium, sulfur, carotene, potassium and vitamin B. Moreover, they are suitable for diets because they contain minimal fat. They are very popular in the kitchen. They are best when consumed fresh, for example in salads and spreads.

How to Grow Radishes

  • For early sowing in open ground, it is advisable to choose sunny locations; for summer growing, rather shaded ones. Water radishes in the morning and evening. To prevent bulb cracking, it is advisable to limit soil moisture fluctuations through regular watering. During vegetation, remove weeds from radish beds and carefully hoe around them.

  • Spring sowing in beds is carried out as soon as the soil dries. Sow in rows 15-20 cm apart and to a depth of 1 cm. After emergence and formation of cotyledon leaves, thin out to 3-4 cm.

    Radishes can be pre-cultivated in a warm greenhouse or cold frame from February. In this case, sow in rows approximately 10 cm apart. After emergence, thin out the plants as well.

  • For growing radishes, permeable, light to medium-heavy, deeply worked soil that is rich in humus and has sufficient soil moisture is suitable.

  • Do not fertilize radishes with farmyard manure. They would accumulate nitrates, which are dangerous to the human organism. Do not fertilize radishes during vegetation. It is advisable to use them as a preceding crop.

  • In overcrowded sowings, there is a risk of attack by the fungal disease of seedling necks known as damping-off. The affected neck turns brown and the seedlings die. Establish sparse sowing and maintain only moderate moisture.

    Bulb cracking is related to irregular watering, which develops, for example, during rainfall after a long period of drought.

    Cabbage root fly, whose larvae create tunnels in root heads, is a significant pest of radishes. Non-woven fabric will prevent root flies from laying eggs on radish root necks. For chemical protection, it is suitable to use Sumithion Super. Regular watering also prevents attack by flea beetles, which nibble on leaves.

  • Harvest radishes as needed when they are ripe. Ripeness can be recognized by the size of the bulb.
