Prezentare

Radish (Raphanus landra) este un anual, o plante herbică nativă din regiuni precum Turcia-Europă, Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Altay, Austria, Azorele și Baleares. Conștiință pentru părți edibile ale sale - floare, frunze și poduri de semințe - plantele se dezvoltă în condiții umide cu preferința pentru soluri de tip liniștit (sandy), medie și greu (clay). Planta crește până la 0,8 metri în înălțime și este adesea găsită în habitatul Turciei-Europă. Requisitul pentru energie luminos al plantei o face adaptabil, dar este idealizată în mediile cu un interval de pH ater de 5-5,5.

Cultivare

Radish se dezvolte bine în soluri liniștite sau umide medii care sunt bine drenate sau precum clay-like, dar nu prea grele. Prefere un interval de pH ater de 5-5,5 și este cel mai bun pentru cultivarea anuală în regiuni temperat. Radish necesită soare plin sau umbră parțial pentru creștere optimă. Irrigarea regulată este necesară, în special în perioadele seci, pentru a menține solul umed constant. Planta poate crește până la 0,8 metri în înălțime și produce părți edibile inclusiv floare, frunze și poduri de semințe.
