Parameter Description
Scientific name Raphanus sativus
Hybrid F1 Prince 1111
Soil Being a root crop, radish requires loose and friable soil, rich in organic matter.
Land Preparation Ploughing the soils with 2-3 times, make fine tilth with rotavator and apply recommended FYM at time of ploughing.
Spacing 15*10 cm
Climate Ideal temperature for growth and development of quality roots in radish is 10-15.5°C. Though it can tolerate high temperature, roots develop pungency under hot weather.
Season Winter
Seed Rate 7.5 kg/ha
Fertilizers & Manures
Type Quantity Notes
FYM 10-15 t/ha
Nitrogen (N) 50 Kg/ha
Phosphorus (P₂O₅) 100 Kg/ha
Potassium (K₂O) 50 Kg/ha
Any special cases: No
Irrigation Radish requires plenty of water from sowing to harvest. For rapid germination and subsequent production of roots, soil should be moist and loose. So irrigate immediately after sowing. If irrigation is restricted, roots will be tougher and pungent, making it unfit for marketing.
Weed Control Manual weeding required at 20 DAS
Any special crop practices
Diseases
Name of the diseases Symptoms & management
Alternaria blight Causes dark yellow to black spots with concentric rings on foliage, potentially leading to a shot-hole appearance.
Control : Hexaconozole 5% EC (2ml/L), Azoxystrobin 23%SC (1ml/L), Mancozeb 63% + Carbendizim 12% WP (2g/L)
Downy mildew Appears as purplish-brown spots on the underside of leaves, with yellowing above.
Control : Metalaxyl 4% + Mancozeb 64% WP (2g/L), Mancozeb 63% + Carbendizim 12% WP (2g/L)
White rust Appears as white, raised pustules on leaves and stems.
Control : Metalaxyl 4% + Mancozeb 64% WP (2g/L), Mancozeb 63% + Carbendizim 12% WP (2g/L)
Bacterial leaf spot Appears as leaf spots often black and in severe cases several spots coalesce together forming a bigger spots which leads to reduce leaf area.
Control : Streptocyclin @0.2 -0.5 gm/ltr, Copper based fungicide COC -2 gm/ltr
Pests
Name of the pests Symptoms & management
Aphids These sap-sucking insects can be controlled by hand-picking, spraying with a strong water jet, or introducing natural predators like ladybugs.
Control : Acepahte 75 % SP (1.5 g/L), Imidacloprid 30.5 % SC @ 0.25 ml / ltr
Flea beetle Scrap the chlorophyll content of the leaf and skeletonize the leaf.
Control : Spinosad 45% SC (0.15ml/L), Bifenthrin 10 % EC @ 1.5 ml/ltr
Cut Worms These larvae can damage seedlings by feeding on the foliage.
Control : Chlorpyriphos 50% + Cypermethrin 5% w/w (2ml/L)
Darkling beetle or Rove Beetle Eat the leaves of plant causing leaf damage.
Control : Klingocide elite 50 EC @ 0.5 ML / ltr, Quinalphos 25 % EC @ 2 ml / ltr
Root Knot Nematode Formation of nodule in the roots and affects root formation.
Control : Fluensulfon 2 % G @ 5 Kg / Ha
Method of application : Broad casting
Harvesting Roots will be ready for harvest in 45-50 days after sowing. Harvesting is done manually. A light irrigation is given before pulling out roots. After harvesting, roots are washed, made into bundles and marketed along with a few leaves.
Yield 45-50 t/ha
Parameter Description
Forking Radish roots may develop multiple, branching shapes, which can be caused by uneven soil compaction or excessive moisture.
Control : Soil should be loose and friable, avoid clods.
Pithiness / Sponginess This disorder manifests as a hollow or spongy texture within the radish root, often due to excessive root growth compared to the plant’s ability to assimilate nutrients.
Control : Avoid calcareous soils which inhibit nutrient uptake.
Cracking / Splitting Cracks or splits can occur in the radish root, especially if watering is uneven or if the roots are left in the ground for too long.
Control : Irrigation management and timely harvesting.
Internal Browning (Brown Heart) This is characterized by reddish-brown discoloration in the central part of the root and is linked to boron deficiency.
Control : Nutrient management.
