How to Care for Radish

Sunlight: Grow radish plants in a spot where they can receive 6-7 hours of good sunlight.

Watering: Water the radish plants regularly to keep the soil moist. Remember they can’t withstand standing water so avoid overwatering.

Soil: Radishes need fertile and sandy-loam soil with good drainage to thrive well. For further nourishment, we advise you to add compost or cow manure in the soil.

Fertilizer: Fertilize the radish plants every month with an organic fertilizer like Amrutjal or Panchgavya.

Pests and Diseases: Aphids and maggots can harm your radish plants by causing scab, wilting, and black root.

Harvesting: Radishes are ready to harvest after 50-60 days of sowing the seeds. To obtain the freshly grown moolis, just firmly pull the roots from the soil.
