Why is the radish hollow? What are the solutions?

As the saying goes, eat radish in winter and ginger in summer, winter is a good season to eat radish, and radish is resistant to storage, many people like to store a lot of radish at home. But sometimes the radish will be hollow, why will the radish be hollow? What are the solutions?

First, why is the radish hollow?

The main results are as follows: 1. the radish peel, cracks and other wounds caused by us in the process of harvesting strengthen the respiration of radish, and its loss of water and nutrients is too large, resulting in radish hollow.

2. The temperature of radish in storage environment is too high. Radish storage temperature is generally 0-3 degrees Celsius, more than 3 ℃ is easy to germinate and grow and lead to radish hollow.

3. When we store radish, the temperature should not be too high. The humidity of radish storage is generally between 90% and 95%. If the humidity is less than 90%, the radish will be dehydrated, resulting in hollow radish.

4. The hollow radish has a certain relationship with the sowing date, water application and fertilization, and the selection of varieties. For example, when we sow, the time of sowing is early, the application of water and fertilization is not coordinated and uneven, and it will also cause hollowness. when selecting seeds, we should also pay attention to: fleshy roots are soft, grow fast, large varieties with low starch and sugar content in cells, and early-maturing and very early-maturing varieties with short growing period are easy to hollow.

Second, how to solve the hollowness of radish?

1. In the process of harvesting radish, reduce radish peel breaking and radish cracking as much as possible, remove stem plate before storing radish, and place it in a cool and clean place to prevent the wind from blowing and the sun. The temperature of the storage cellar should be kept below 4 degrees Celsius.

2. You can cover the radish with a layer of wet sand. Check whether the radish stem plate is clean, and then put a layer of radish cover with a layer of wet sand, put it in turn, pay attention to ventilation, control temperature and moisture, so that the storage environment of radish had better keep the temperature below 3 degrees Celsius, humidity 90% Mel 95%.
