At cultivation of this culture it is necessary to consider its biological properties. Daikon – a plant of long sveyotovy day. Features also are connected with it its vyrashchivayoniya. In May-June the prodolzhiyotelnost of day at us reaches 15-16 hours. At this time uskoryaetsya formation of repyoroduktivny bodies – cvetkov, fruits. And here obrazovayony vegetative bodies – root crops restrains. And if daikon to sow early, it is possible to receive vershoks, instead of backs.
Therefore, if want to have these root crops on stole in the winter, sow seeds of grades of dlinnodnevny group (A canine of an elephant, the Sweet giant, to Minovas). To sow them it is necessary at the end of June or in the first polovine July, shirokoryadny way, with distance between ranks – 60 cm and interfood plants among 15-20 see. Depth of seal of seeds 2-3 see. After crops it is necessary to condense the soil.
For the 6-7th day after crops there are shoots. Also it is necessary to start care of plants. It svoditsya to formation gustoty standings of plants, to weeding of weeds and loosening in the beginning gluyoboky (6-8 cm), then to more superficial. And other option. There are grades neutral to day length, such as Sascha, Morning of Japan, Tokinasi. They should be sowed in the third decade of April or in the first decade of May. This culture neprixotliva, is capable grow even on heavy gliniyosty soils, but, esteyostvenno, on fertile at it both the crop is higher, and quality of root crops is better. So since autumn the site which has been taken away under daikon, it is necessary to fertilize well humus or komyoposty, and in vegetation of a plant it is necessary to water, but without rehumidifying the soil.
From krestotsvetny flea beetles of a plant pollinate ashes, smeyoshanny with tobacco, or opryskivayut solution of pesticides (Detsis, Karate, Fastak and druyogy). One ampoule rastvoryayut in 10 l of water. It is better to process at the beginning of development of rasyoteniye when flea beetles osobenyono are active.
In 50-70 days after shoots it is possible to harvest already. If the soil easy, root crops simply vydergivayut if heavy, undermine a shovel.
Store them in plastic bags or in the boxes filled with sand.
