Considered a variety of daikon, the daikon Minowase radish can reach up to 2 feet in length. With its white and crisp texture and mild sweet taste, this Japanese radish is a unique and delectable choice. Typically ready to harvest in just 45 days, these roots can be stored for extended periods of time.
BOTANICAL NAME: Raphanus sativus
This Daikon radish variety features large, mild, white roots that can reach lengths of up to 18" and diameters of 2". With versatile uses for eating raw, cooking, or pickling, it's best to plant in late summer for a fall harvest, though it can also be planted in spring in regions below 40 degrees latitude. Plus, planting it alongside garlic and leeks makes it a perfect choice for breaking up compacted soil. Additionally, all parts of this plant are edible, adding to its overall appeal.
Daikon Radishes look like carrots growing to lengths of 18 to 24 inches. Deer eat both the green top and the radish itself.
Use the radishes as a nurse crop as they are excellent in this food plot role as they add high nutrient organic matter to soil such as nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, boron and sulfur as they die off in the winter and decompose rapidly.
Benefits Of Daikon Radishes in Food Plots
- Fast growing they will smother weeds
- Handles grazing pressure well - sprouts new growth quickly
- Protein levels in the top and root of better than 20%
- Radishes aerate and loosen compacted soil even heavy clay
Planting
|
WHEN TO PLANT: late summer/fall Start as early as ground can be worked. Plant seeds 6" apart or broadcast carefully, covering with ¼" of fine soil firmly pressed down. They will mature in 8-12 weeks. Be sure to keep growing continuously and harvest when crowns are 1" or more in diameter. Daikons will not do well under drought conditions. Stagger planting for continuous harvest. Roots may grow over 1' long. Harvest when crowns are 1" or more in diameter. Carfully remove them with a fork - as radishes are brittle. Cut tops 2" above the crowns, wash and refrigerate. Ideally store the roots at 32F and 95% humidity where they can be stored for 6-10 weeks. |
Growing Organic Daikon Radish Cover Crop Garden Seeds
Organic Daikon radish seeds are a fast-maturing, open-pollinated crop often sown every 2 weeks and can be planted in full sun in average, looamy, and well-drained soil. They germinate in 3-7 days and require no thinning. This cool-hardy crop can be used as an annual cover crop, and can be mowed multiple times throughout the season for companion plantings.
Organic Daikon Radish Benefits
The Organic Daikon radish has a longer taproot that breaks apart and loosens dense, uncultivated soils. Its 10" taproot also helps with nutrient retention and creates optimal conditions for future crops. As a companion plant, it replenishes lost nitrogen in the soil for nitrogen-dependent crops like tomatoes, peppers, muskmelons, and cucumbers. This non-GMO variety is perfect for pickling with its tangy and crunchy taste.
