How to grow radish? Planting method and time of radish

Radish is a kind of root vegetable that everyone likes to eat very much, and its planting area in our country is also very large. Now it has gradually reached the planting node of autumn radish, and many farmers have begun to prepare for the planting of radish. However, growing radish is not as simple as people think, so how to grow radish? The following editor brings you the planting time and methods of radish, let's have a look!

1. Planting time

The planting time of radish is mainly determined according to its variety, that is, according to the season. When planting spring radish, it is usually sown in early spring from February to March, and the growth period is about January to February. If it is in the northern high latitudes such as east and west North China, the seeds should be sown around April. Summer radish is usually sown in May and can be harvested in July. The most common planting time of autumn radish should be determined according to the planting area. If it is in the warmer areas such as North China and Northwest China, the seeds should be sown from July to August, while the planting time in the colder areas should be in the first and middle of July.

2. Soil preparation and fertilization

After the harvest of the previous crop of the soil, we should pay attention to do a good job of deep ploughing, smash and rake the soil, and apply sufficient base fertilizer. Then according to the situation of the soil to choose the appropriate radish varieties, if the soil is thick, then you can plant large varieties, deep ploughing depth should be maintained at more than 30 cm. On the contrary, if the soil layer is shallow, then you should choose a small variety with a deep root of 25 cm. Radish root capacity is relatively strong, we should apply sufficient base fertilizer, mainly to mature farm manure, applied into the soil after flat rake and then make beds.

3. Appropriate seedlings

After the radish seedlings are unearthed, the growth rate is very fast, so we must do a good job of inter-seedling work. Take the early seedling, the batch seedling as the principle, if the seedling time is earlier, because the seedling is compared, so it will not easily hurt the root of the seedling when pulling out the seedling. Then the seedlings should be determined at a later time to avoid missing plants due to insect pests. Under normal circumstances, it is generally necessary to inter-seedling about 2 times, when the first true leaf appears, carry on the first inter-seedling, pull out weak seedling, disease and insect pest seedling and so on. Then the seedlings are interspersed again when the third true leaf is grown, providing sufficient space for strong seedlings to grow.

4. Water and fertilizer management

Radish has a great demand for water and fertilizer. under the normal management of water and fertilizer, the early growth of radish should mainly promote the growth of leaves and roots. It can provide sufficient water and nutrition for the expansion of fleshy root in the later stage of radish. When the vegetative growth of radish reaches a certain extent, it should be properly controlled. Radish in different growth periods of water demand is different, such as in the germination period to ensure that there is sufficient water, seedling stage should be less watering, to promote squatting seedlings. Water should not be too much at any time to avoid diseases caused by retting roots.

When applying fertilizer, we should apply fertilizer according to the law of radish fertilizer demand. If the base fertilizer is sufficient, then less topdressing can be done, on the contrary, more topdressing should be done. The above is a brief introduction to the planting method and time of radish.
