2. Planting and management techniques of cherry radish

1. Soil management

Cherry radish has strong adaptability and does not have strict requirements on soil, but soil quality has a certain effect on the yield and quality of cherry radish. Therefore, when choosing planting soil, we should give priority to sandy soil with deep and soft, water and fertilizer conservation, normal drainage and irrigation and strong permeability. It needs more nutrition to grow, especially potash fertilizer. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the content of potassium in the soil, followed by nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer. Adequate nutrition is the key to ensure the healthy growth of cherry radish, but we should also pay attention to planting.

2. Water management

Water is very important for the growth of cherry radish. In the process of planting, water should be supplied evenly. Cherry radish after emergence, can maintain soil moisture, cherry radish into the growth peak, should be timely watering, keep the soil water content at about 70%. If the water content is too low, the water content of the fleshy root will be too low, there will be voids, nutrients will also be reduced, the growth rate will significantly decrease, the number of fibrous roots will increase, which will affect the quality.

3. Lighting management

It is necessary to maintain enough light in the growth process of cherry radish, insufficient light will affect the photosynthesis of cherry radish, reduce the accumulation of photosynthetic matter, affect the quality of cherry radish, block the fleshy root of cherry radish and slow down the speed. On the contrary, if there is enough light, it is very beneficial to the growth of cherry radish. Keeping light for about 13 hours a day can prolong its flowering period, but be careful not to have direct sunlight for too long, otherwise it is easy to burn the leaves of plants and affect the growth of cherry radish.

4. Temperature management

Cherry radish is a kind of temperate vegetable with poor heat tolerance, but it has good cold resistance. During the growth of cherry radish, the temperature should be controlled between 8-24 ℃, the optimum temperature was about 20 ℃, and the optimum temperature for seed germination was about 22 ℃. Cherry radish has different temperature requirements at all growth stages. For example, when the succulent root increases, the temperature should be controlled at about 10-18 ℃; when the temperature is lower than 5 ℃, the growth rate decreases obviously, which is prone to early bolting; if the temperature is too high, it will reduce the stress resistance of plants and cause a variety of diseases and insect pests.

In order to achieve certain economic benefits of cherry and radish planting, it is best to carry out large-scale and intensive management, but small-scale planting can also make money, but the benefit will not be too good. Growers can consider the planting scale according to their own situation.
