Characteristics of varieties

Radish varieties differ in terms of ripening, shape and color of the root crop, large-fruited size and method of cultivation.

According to ripening time Radishes are divided into:

• early - ready within 20-25 days. Ultra early ripening, Krasa, 18 days, Alyoshka, Cranberry in sugar, Children's, Globus, Sprinter;
• mid-season - ready time 25-30 days. This radish produces tails much less and its yield of marketable products is greater than that of earlier varieties. Root crops tolerate transportation well and are suitable for long-term storage (10-20 days). Varieties: Greenhouse Gribovsky, Alba, Krasa Altaya, Anabel, Dabel, Zarnitsa, Vera, Belokrayka, White Fang, Zolotse, Quick, Crimson Giant Globe, Saksa;
• late - ripening period 31-50 days. There are very few late varieties; there is practically no targeted selection of them. Radishes are still a fast-growing root vegetable. Varieties: Vulcan, Octave, Autumn Giant, Roxanne, Rondo.

Ripening dates are highly dependent on the weather, although they fit within the time frame for the varieties.

By shape the crop can be round (the vast majority of varieties), elongated-cylindrical (Mizinchik, Polinka, Icicle) or elliptical (Mulatka, Autumn Giant). Most varieties with cylindrical and elliptical roots are classified as medium or late.

By colorIt can be red, red with a white tip, burgundy, purple, dark brown, yellow and white.

By large fruit size It can be small - the weight of the root crop is less than 20 g, medium - 20-25 g and large - more than 26 g.

By method The crop can be grown in greenhouses or grown in open ground. In general, all radishes can be grown in open ground, but not every variety will produce a good harvest in a greenhouse.

Radish varieties for open ground

Early radish

Ripening period is 20-25 days.

Alyoshka

Main characteristics.

1. A very early hybrid. Ripening time is 20-22 days. Under favorable conditions, technical ripeness occurs in 19-21 days.
2. The root crop is red, round, weighing 15-20 g. Productivity 2-2.7 kg/m ². The pulp is juicy, tender, white.
3. With early sowing, cultivation in a greenhouse is possible. In open ground it is permissible to cultivate in light partial shade.
4. In June, in cool weather, it does not allow the shooter to shoot.
5. Shelf life is no more than 5 days. During long-term storage, root vegetables wither, lose their juiciness and taste. Transportation over short distances is possible.

Radish has an excellent sweet taste with a slight bitterness. When outgrown, it does not produce voids for a long time.

18 days

Characteristics.

1. Very early radish. From germination to technical ripeness 20-22 days. At a temperature of 18-20°C and regular watering, ripening is possible in 19 days.

Late radishes can be affected by clubroot (early ones are also affected, but due to the short growing season, the disease does not have time to manifest itself), so the acidic soil is limed.

Due to the long growing season, late radishes need feeding. There is no need to apply phosphorus fertilizers - they provoke the formation of shoots. Nitrogen is used once when there are 3 true leaves.Most of all, the crop needs potassium. Feed with infusion of ash or any potassium fertilizer (including potassium chloride, since the crop is resistant to chlorine).
