Points for attention in leaf skimming of radish

In the radish fleshy expansion period, many farmers will skim the leaves of the radish, which plays a certain role in improving the yield, which is the same as the bean pinching, which can promote the reproductive growth of the radish. Generally, 20 days before the radish is taken, the outer leaves are removed properly, which can reduce the vegetative growth of radish, promote reproductive growth and increase the accumulation of dry matter. Although radish leaf skimming is simple, we should also pay attention to several problems. Let's take a look at it.

1. Not all radishes are suitable for leaf skimming

Not all radish varieties are suitable for leaf skimming, fruit radish does not need, for example, cherry radish itself has fewer leaves, and the growth time is shorter, generally January is very sufficient, so there is no need for leaf skimming. However, in the process of growth, white radish needs to balance vegetative growth and reproductive growth, so that it can be regulated by leaf skimming.

2. It is not better to skim leaves as soon as possible

Radish leaf skimming is generally carried out 20-25 days before harvest, when radish is in the late stage of fleshy root expansion, and the size of radish has been basically fixed, thus entering the period of dry matter accumulation and transformation. At this time, if the leaves are skimmed too early, then the photosynthesis and respiration of the leaves will be weakened, resulting in radish growing up, smaller, but will reduce the yield, so radish leaf skimming must pay attention to the time.

3. The more leaves, the better

When skimming leaves, the outer edge leaves of radish are generally skimmed off, but once the heart leaves and internal leaves are left, losing external leaves can improve ventilation conditions and promote dry matter transformation, so that radish chaff heart and disease are less likely to occur in the later stage. If all the leaves are skimmed off, then the radish can not carry out photosynthesis, dry matter can not be accumulated in time for conversion, and over time, if not harvested in time, then the radish may die.
