WILLVINE GBPUT-489 Ping Pong Radish, White Round Seed  (500 per packet)

Plan a fall planting. Plant 4-6 weeks into fall before the start of the winter. Directly sow seeds ½ to an inch deep and one inch apart in rows that are 12 inches apart. Thin to about 2-inch spacings. Avoid crowding of plants together. Radishes when planted in too much shade—or even where neighbouring vegetable plants shade them—they invest all their energy into producing bigger leaves. Practise 3 year crop rotation. GROWING REQUIREMENTS WATERING Radish seeds should be planted in moist soil during mid-autumn. Infrequent watering gives radishes a woody texture and a hot taste. PESTS The pests that attack radish can cause the roots to fail to form, tiny shot-holes in leaves of seedlings, leaves to turn dull yellow, curl, stunted - making them brittle and deformed. Common type of pests that affect this crop are Cabbage Root Maggot and Clubroot. SOIL Radishes prefer well-drained, loose soil, high in organic matter, free from stones, with pH 5.8 to 6.8. SPOT The crop yields best produce in full sun. TEMPERATURE Ideal temperature for germination would be 12 to 29 degree C [55 F to 85 F].
