Secrets to Planting and Growing Radishes

 Secrets to Planting and Growing Radishes in Your Garden or Flower Pot on Your Balcony




Radish belongs to the vegetable cultivated for its roots, its characteristic root is brittle structure and very juicy. An appetizing radish is also used in delicious salads, soups, and cooks. Radishes are divided according to the growing season, the radishes we plant in the spring and the radishes we plant in the fall. There are different skin colors from spicy to sweet, long radish, round radish, small or large, as well as white, red, purple to black. Radish grows very quickly and can be grown relatively easily in both a garden and a flower pot on the balcony. Therefore, it is useful to try new radishes from our garden and grow varieties that are difficult to find.


Under what conditions does radish grow?


Radish requires a cool, relatively cool climate, the ideal temperature is 13-19 C. It is resistant to low temperatures and frost. Radishes are susceptible to heat because at high temperatures they show premature flowering, poor root growth, and a mild taste. We like to plant radishes in sunny places in autumn and semi-sunny places in spring depending on crop area and planting season. We choose fluffy soil, grind it well and fill it with organic matter so that the underground part of the plant grows satisfactorily and removes water through good drainage. To plant radishes in a flower pot, we use a flower pot at a depth of 15-25 cm, depending on the variety of radish, and fluffy nutrients rich in nutrients and perlite.


How are radishes planted and what product do they need?



Radishes are sown in early autumn from late September to late November, as well as in late winter, from February to March. When preparing the soil for sowing radish, we remove the stones and dig the soil well. We combine compost and manure to enrich it with an organic substance that contributes to better and better quality production. At a planting distance of 20-30 cm between the lines and at a depth of 1-2 cm we rarely spray the radishes above the lines. For our convenience, radish seeds can be mixed with sand to achieve thinner seeds with more consistency. When we finally find that there is dense planting, dilute the radishes and keep them at a distance of 5 cm from each other, to achieve smooth growth and better root formation.


When to water and lubricate the radish?


 Radish thrives in cool soil and requires frequent watering. We take care that their surface soil does not dry out and adjust the frequency of irrigation according to the rainfall during that period. As for fertilizing, radishes do not need additional fertilizer because we combine compost and manure when planting. In particular, we should avoid nitrogen fertilizers containing ammonium fertilizers, which can lead to excessive foliage growth and burden the turnip growth.


When is the radish ready for harvest?


Radish is ready for harvest 1.5–3 months after sowing. Especially small rounded radishes grow very fast and can be enjoyed within 1.5 months of sowing. Autumn radish planting is harvested from late October to late January. Since our radishes lie beneath the ground, it is good to note in our records when each radish was planted so the harvest time is known. At harvest, after removing the radish from the ground, cut off its foliage and place it in the refrigerator immediately for the best care.


What are the major diseases and pests that attack radishes?

Radish perennial and fungus are attacked by two fungal diseases that cause spots on the leaves of the plant. To treat them, spray with thiohalcine dust or copper and thiourea fluid. Also, Meligra forms curls on the young leaves of the radish. To treat it, we spray it with a solution of crushed green soap or other environmental means described in detail in the article for the treatment of migraine. In addition, it is good to throw ashes around the radishes to deal with leaf-slip snails and snails.


And the last secret to growing radish



 Radishes grow fast and can produce successful crops among sprouts, cauliflowers, broccoli, lettuce, and beets. Growing plants is an ecological method in which we grow different plants in the same area with many benefits.
