The hybrid is classified as an early maturing variety. From the moment of emergence of mass shoots to the ripening of full-fledged tubers, 22-25 days pass. Germination and ripening of fruits occurs together, so the harvesting period is short - 12-14 days. Radish is collected in several stages - every 4-5 days.

For this, a leveled and clean area is selected, where elongated grooves are made with a depth of up to 1.5-2 cm.The distance between the rows should be 10x15 cm.Sowing is carried out according to the scheme 10x5 cm.
