There are many varieties of white radish, and the suitable cultivation period can also be divided into many periods, but basically choose to plant in autumn. If the seedlings are planted in a hurry in August, the seedlings will be easily eaten by bugs, and they will also be easily infected with viral diseases and stop growing, resulting in a more serious situation.

1Fertilization

For radish planting, it is recommended to apply about 200kg of commercial organic fertilizer per mu, and about 40kg of Huaqiang MAINPAR NPK16-6-26 (Best NPK fertilizer for white radish NPK16-6-26.). After fertilization, the land is cultivated and the land is leveled, with a width of 60 to 75 cm and a height of 20 to 30 cm.

2 sowing

The seeding method can choose to live broadcast or mulch seeding

For open-air sowing, first dig a planting ditch in the border and sow according to the plant spacing of 25~30 cm, sowing 3~5 seeds per hole. Radishes are generally easier to germinate. In order to reduce seedling thinning, the number of seeds can be reduced. Cover the soil after sowing, the thickness of the cover is generally within 1 cm, if the cover is too thick, it will be harmful to the seed germination.

Cover sowing with mulching film, spread the film in the border, and then directly sow. This method can generally be harvested earlier. Hole the mulch neatly, keeping an interval of 20~30 cm, and put 3~5 seeds in each hole. In order to prevent pests and diseases after sowing, sheds covered with non-woven fabrics should be built.

3 Field management

The whole seedling period should be thinned twice. The first thinning is performed when the cotyledons are opened and the true leaves begin to grow, and the second thinning is performed when there are 5-6 true leaves. In dense places, you can use scissors to cut the seedlings that need to be thinned out from the roots, so as not to bring out other seedlings when forcibly pulling out; in high-density places, you can gently press the seedlings that need to be kept with your hands while pulling out the seedlings that need to be thinned out. Thinning combined with intertillage can weeding on the one hand, and loose the soil on the other. At the seedling stage, keep the soil in the field moist and irrigate in time without rain for a long time. Sprinkler irrigation is best. If there is too much rain, trenches should be opened for drainage and attention should be paid to prevent and control pests.
