Growing and care

Gardeners are engaged in planting for 18 days from April to June. Seeds are planted by direct sowing into the soil, it is impractical to grow seedlings here, due to rapid ripening. It is necessary to deepen the grains into the ground by about a centimeter, while it is strongly recommended to remember about the planting scheme of 10x5 centimeters.

After planting, you need to moisten the soil well, and overlay the space between the trenches with organic mulch to retain moisture. In the future, the seedlings are watered every 2 days with water at room temperature. If you do not adhere to the watering schedule, the roots will taste bitter.

In addition to careful irrigation, you need to remember about the looseness of the soil.Once every few days, the soil is treated with a ripper. And also gardeners have to keep track of weeds, weeding them out as needed. Plants do not need feeding, but this is subject to growth on fertile soil. If the soil is poor, you can feed it for 18 days with a universal mineral mixture.

Before planting radishes, it is worth preparing a place where the vegetable crop will grow. With the wrong choice, the plant runs the risk of not taking root. The characteristics of the variety and its requirements should be taken into account. It is recommended that all prerequisites are met to achieve good results.
Radish is a very hygrophilous crop. Without timely watering, the plant quickly withers, and the resulting roots will be small, deformed and not too juicy and crunchy. The crop needs a regular supply of liquid, and the frequency of watering will depend on the growing conditions of the radish.
Radish is one of the fastest growing crops. It can be grown both outdoors and in greenhouses. To get a good harvest of vegetables in such conditions, it is worth observing the basic growing conditions.
In order to constantly have fresh radishes in the refrigerator, it is not necessary to wait for the onset of spring, because this culture can be grown at home on a windowsill in your own apartment. Subject to the growing conditions, you can get a large yield of large and very juicy radishes.

Soil requirements

Radish grows well for 18 days in light loam or sandy loam. Acidic and clay substrates are categorically unsuitable for him. The site for planting must be selected correctly, in compliance with the requirements of crop rotation. In the case of radishes, this is a ban on planting after crucifers. And also the soil should be improved in the autumn period by making a deep digging with useful rotted organic matter.

Required climatic conditions

The best temperature for a variety of 18 days is 15-18 degrees, but in summer it, of course, is rare. The plants generally tolerate heat well, but the soil should not be allowed to dry out. Radishes are planted in a sunny area, but it is not recommended to light it constantly. If the sun beats down mercilessly, then you need to create a shelter for at least part of the day. There is one more secret of how to get juicy fruits. When they begin to form, the beds should be completely isolated from the sun after 6 pm. Then the plant will direct all its efforts to the formation of beautiful tubers.

Disease and pest resistance

Radish of this variety has good immunity. For such a short period of time, plants usually do not have time to get sick. But there are still cases of damage, mainly due to excessive watering or lack of weeding. So, it is affected for 18 days by a black leg, rust and rot. Most of these ailments can be avoided with good seed care and seed treatment.

And also the young growth attracts the cruciferous flea. In order to prevent the pest from entering the beds, crops should be covered at first. The tops will become rough and the flea will lose interest in it. Another option is to sprinkle the row-spacing with ash or tobacco dust.

Diseases and pests of radish can seriously reduce the yield of a vegetable crop. Therefore, you need to know the characteristic symptoms, be able to identify the problem and know how to cope with it.
