Edit this part of the planting
First, Youbai 1 radish. My company newly bred, fleshy root, white skin and white meat, long cylinder, root length of 20-25cm, diameter of 4-6cm, extremely light or no spicy taste, dense and juicy meat, slightly light taste, mosaic, growth period of 55-60 days, single plant root net weight of 65,438+0-65,438+0.5kg./. The chaff heart is late, and the fleshy root is not easy to chaff heart after bolting.
Second, improve the white jade spring radish. South Korea introduced varieties. The leaves are green, the root bark is pure white, smooth, long and cylindrical, and the meat is dense and not easy to scratch. Extremely resistant to bolting, rapid expansion, less root cracking and less fibrous roots. It can be harvested about 60 days after sowing.
Third, improve the white marble radish. South Korea introduced varieties. Leaves are few, root bark is pure white, smooth and long cylindrical. Extremely resistant to bolting, rapid expansion, less root cracking and less fibrous roots. It can be harvested about 60 days after sowing.
Key points of spring radish cultivation:
1. Sowing date: sowing can be carried out from late August to March of the following year, with plastic film mulching165438+1October. Sow in the greenhouse from February 6th to1October 6th of the following year. Early sowing is easy to bolting, and late sowing is easy to cause pests and diseases.
2. Prepare soil and apply base fertilizer. Choose plots with deep, fertile and loose soil. Apply 2000 kg of manure per mu, 35 kg of ternary compound fertilizer, and add boron fertilizer 1 kg as base fertilizer.
3. sow. Generally, sowing is required, with 1-2 seeds per hole, row spacing of 35cm and plant spacing of 20cm. After sowing, it is covered with plastic film. The dosage of seeds per mu is 90 grams.
4. On-site management. About 10 day after sowing, when cotyledons are flat, the film is broken to expose seedlings, and the seedlings are sparse and replenished, and the film is sealed and broken. In case of drought, water should be poured in time, and the water can't reach the edge. Top dressing should be timely. Most radishes should be topdressing for the first time when they are exposed to the shoulder, and the roots should be irrigated with 25 kilograms of compound fertilizer per mu. The second fertilization should be carried out after half a month, and the dosage is the same as that of the first fertilization.
5, pest control. The main pests are flea beetle, aphid, cabbage caterpillar and so on. The main diseases are black spot and downy mildew. All localities choose drugs according to the situation.
Finally, the watering situation of planting carrots is: watering is permeable after sowing, basically no watering at seedling stage, squatting seedlings to prevent virtual growth. Water the shed for the first time, and apply urea 10 kg per mu with the water. When the fleshy roots and fingers of carrots are stout (entering the expansion stage), it is the period when the demand for water and nutrients is the greatest. Water should be done in time to keep the land moist and dry, and water it 10 times or more during the growth period, and topdressing urea and potassium sulfate 2-3 times in combination with water, with urea 15-20 kg and potassium sulfate 5 kg each time.

Biological characteristics of carrot
Carrot is a semi-hardy vegetable. The suitable temperature for germination is 20-25℃, and the suitable temperature for growth is 18-23℃ during the day and 13- 18℃ at night. Too high or too low temperature is not conducive to growth.
Carrot root system is developed, so deep tillage plays an important role in promoting vigorous root growth and fleshy root hypertrophy. For sandy loam with deep soil layer, pH 5-8 is more suitable. The soil moisture is required to be 60-80% of the maximum soil water holding capacity. If there is too much water in the early stage of growth and the overground part grows too vigorously, it will affect the expansion and growth of fleshy roots. If the water is insufficient in the late growth stage, the taproot can not fully expand, resulting in a decline in yield. Too sticky soil or immature base fertilizer will hinder the normal growth of fleshy roots and produce deformed roots.
