Radish "18 days" (De dix-huit Jours)
Radish "18 days" (De dix-huit Jours).
The variety is ultra-early ripening (ripening period is 18-20 days from germination). The root crop is cylindrical, pink-red with a white tip, weighing 18-25 g. The flesh is white, juicy, of mild taste. Used for growing in open and protected ground.
1,0 g = 100-120 seeds.
Agrotechnics.
For sowing radishes, a site is chosen that emerges early from under the snow, with light, highly fertile soil. The predecessors of radishes can be any vegetable crops, except for the cruciferous family. Before sowing, fertilizers are applied to the soil.
Radishes are sown at several times: at the end of April (the bed is covered with a film before germination), then, if necessary, sowing is carried out at intervals of 2-2.5 weeks, for winter storage, late-ripening varieties are sown in early August. Seeds are sown in rows with row spacing of 10-12 cm, the distance between seeds is 2-3 cm to a depth of 1-1.5 cm. After germination, it is necessary to regularly loosen the soil and keep it moist. At the height of summer, with the longest daylight hours, planting radishes is recommended to be shaded. To obtain an earlier and later harvest, radishes are grown in protected ground (in spring, seeds are sown in early March, and in autumn - in early September).
