If you want to grow good fruit radish on land, you must choose a good sowing time. It is best to sow in late July to early August in the north, and it can be postponed to mid-August in the south, so the time from late autumn to early winter is 80~ 100 days. The tissue structure of fruit radish is not as dense as that of vegetable radish, and it requires higher soil quality. Although sandy soil is loose, it has poor water retention capacity and is easy to cause water shortage and fertilizer shortage. At this time, the root of fruit radish is thin and hard, often bitter and spicy, and the yield is low. Therefore, the sandy loam with deep soil layer, loose soil, convenient irrigation and drainage, rich organic water and good fertilizer conservation should be selected for planting fruit radish.

Key points of fruit radish planting:

Soil preparation and sowing: the land should be plowed early and turned early, broken and raked flat, and sufficient base fertilizer should be applied. Green radish has developed roots and needs a lot of fertilizer. Base fertilizer should be the main fertilizer, supplemented by topdressing, and the amount of fertilization varies with soil fertility. When preparing soil, fertilizer accounting for 70% of the total amount of fertilizer is applied as base fertilizer, and then the soil is turned over after cultivated land; Before sowing, apply 3000 kilograms of human feces. Don't use rotten organic fertilizer to avoid forking roots. Sow around August, beginning of autumn in 24 solar terms and Yantai. Generally, the drilling method is adopted, with the row spacing of 25 cm and the seedling spacing of 15~20 cm.

On-site management:

Suitable time cutting and intertillage weeding. When the radish has 2-3 real leaves, adjust the distance for the first time; Seedlings should be established when 5-6 leaves are real. Plant a seedling every 20 cm. Thinning is often combined with thinning between rows, primary thinning and secondary thinning. The topsoil should be hoed, and the last time it should be deeper. The soil in the border should be cultivated at the edge of the border to prevent the seedlings from falling down. Proper soil drying in the early stage of growth is beneficial to the growth of underground roots and prevents the stems and leaves from growing white. Water supply must be sufficient to keep the soil moist, and dry and wet alternation is not allowed to prevent the fleshy roots from cracking, hollowing, rough texture and fine radish.

Pest control:

The diseases that should be paid attention to are soft rot and black rot. Common pests are Tenebrio molitor, Pieris rapae, Plutella xylostella, Pieris rapae, aphids, etc. It is necessary to choose efficient and low-toxic pesticides for control.
