Average number of days from seeding date to harvest, within a specific crop group. If a transplanted crop: average number of days from transplant date.

CULTURE: Daikon 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/ft., thinning to 4–6" apart, rows 18" apart. Note planting seasons in variety descriptions to reduce bolting.
HARVEST AND STORAGE: Daikon and Korean radishes are brittle; fork or undermine and lift roots carefully. Cut tops 2" above crowns, wash, and refrigerate. Can be stored at 32°F (0°C) and 95% relative humidity for 6–10 weeks.
AVG. DIRECT SEEDING RATES: 1 oz./260', 3.9 oz./1,000', 5 1/4 lb./acre at 6 seeds/ft. in rows 24" apart, or 7 lb./acre in rows 18" apart.
SIZED SEEDS: All seeds are unsized.
SEED SPECS: SEEDS/LB.: 23,400–51,500 (avg. 38,600).
PACKET: 100 seeds, sows 16–17'.
