1. Soil preparation and fertilization

Soil preparation requires deep ploughing, soil drying, leveling, fine raking and fertile soil mixing evenly. It is generally cultivated in a small flat bed with a width of 1 meter. Because the growth period is short and the fleshy root is small, the requirements for the type and quantity of fertilizer are not too strict, so it should be based on sufficient base fertilizer, and generally there is no need to apply topdressing. 2500 kg of fully mature barnyard manure was applied per mu as base fertilizer, and 5-8 kg of superphosphate was used as seed fertilizer.

Second, sowing seeds

Autumn open-field cultivation from mid-September to early October can be sown one after another, harvested by stages, generally strip sowing, plant spacing of 3 cm, row spacing of 10 cm, sowing depth of about 1.5 cm, seed amount of 100 grams per mu. Available varieties are red jazz, Dutch red star cherry, Japanese cherry radish and so on.

III. Field management

Cherry radish is too dense and lack of light, which will lead to longer petiole, light leaf color, yellowing and shedding of the lower leaves, and the fleshy root is not easy to expand. When the cotyledons spread out, the seedlings were carried out for l times, leaving the seedlings with normal cotyledons, and the rest were removed, and the seedlings were carried out at the same time where the seedlings were relatively dense. The seedlings are fixed when there are 4 true leaves. Special attention should be paid to keeping the soil moist, watering should be balanced, and the soil water content should be 70% to 80% of the field capacity. If the seedlings grow poorly and have symptoms of fertilizer deficiency, a small amount of available nitrogen fertilizer can be applied with water. The cherry radish plant is small and should be ploughed and weeded in time.

IV. Timely harvest

Cherry radish generally grows for 25 days, the fleshy root is beautiful and bright, and the diameter is up to 2 cm, which can affect the yield prematurely, and the late increase of fiber is easy to produce split root and bran heart.
