Planting methods and matters needing attention of cherry radish

Cherry radish is a kind of red small radish, because it is similar to cherry, so it is named cherry radish, so what are the planting methods and precautions of cherry radish?

1. Growth habits of cherry radish

Cherry radish has not strict requirements on environmental conditions, and its adaptability is relatively strong. It originated from temperate zone and is a semi-cold-tolerant vegetable.

The suitable temperature range for growth is 5-25 ℃. The optimum temperature for seed germination is 20: 25 ℃, and the optimum temperature for growth is about 20 ℃. Radish has strict requirements for light. In the process of growth, lack of light affects the accumulation of photosynthates, which will lead to slow expansion of fleshy roots and poor quality.

1. Planting method

Cherry radish is divided into precocious cultivation and overwintering cultivation. Precocious cultivation refers to the cultivation mode of sowing in protective facilities in winter or early spring and harvesting in early spring. Overwintering cultivation is generally cultivated from October to December, which requires certain measures to keep warm.

Precocious cultivation is divided into greenhouse interplanting cultivation, greenhouse cultivation and sunny bed or plastic greenhouse cultivation. In the plastic greenhouse, the seeds are sown in the first and middle of March and are available on the market in late April.

In overwintering cultivation, cherry radish has a short growth period and less watering, so it is not suitable for topdressing, so sandy soil with loose, fertile and good soil moisture permeability should be selected.

2. Points for attention

Pay attention to watering, light and temperature, and pay attention to pest control during the growth period.

There is not much water in the germination stage and seedling stage, so we only need to ensure the moisture requirements of seed germination and soil moisture, and should be watered frequently.

During the growth of cherry radish, we should also pay attention to the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests.

When harvesting in autumn and winter, strict selection of disease-free plants can reduce the virus source in the following year and reduce the virus-carrying seeds.

Arrange stubble reasonably, avoid continuous or adjacent cropping, and reduce the source of virus transmission.

The seedling stage is the susceptible period of virus disease, so we should spray in time to avoid the spread of aphids.

The cultivation in autumn and winter should be sowed late in time, so that the seedling stage can avoid the high temperature and dry season, and sowing in the cold season which is not suitable for disease can reduce the occurrence of the disease.
