Pest protection
This tuberous vegetable from the cruciferous family has a short cultivation period. It is ideal as a pre-, inter- or post-crop and as a marker seed for seeds with a long germination period, such as carrots. There are different varieties with red, yellow or white-red tubers. Also, different sizes and shapes, from round to cylindrical to oval. Radishes can be cultivated as spring and summer radishes. In this case, the appropriate variety should be selected depending on the growing period, otherwise there will be premature flowering and lignification of the tuber.
Origin:
Östliches Mittelmeergebiet sowie das angrenzende Vorderasien.
Radish prefers humus, well-drained soil and uniform moisture due to rapid growth. In drought tubers can become woody, very sharp and furry.
