Growing Information
SCIENTIFIC NAME: Raphanus sativus var. longipinnatus
CULTURE: Daikons and Korean radishes require friable, well drained soils with a pH range of 5.8-6.8. Work soil deeply, in raised beds if possible, for straight roots and ease of harvest. Sow 10 seeds/30cm, thinning to 10-12cm apart, rows 35cm apart. Note planting seasons to reduce bolting. Korean radish and daikon thrives when temperatures range between 10°C and 25°C.
INSECT PESTS: Use floating row covers at time of planting to control cabbage root maggots.
HARVEST AND STORAGE: Avoid woody texture attributed to summer harvest. Daikons and Korean radishes are brittle; use gardening forks or undermine and lift roots carefully. Cut tops 5cm above crowns, wash, and refrigerate. Daikons can be stored at 0C and 95% relative humidity for 6-10 weeks.
