Sharp taste of a horse-radish is caused by availability of allylic chamber oil. Well grows on deeply processed, gumusovy, well irrigated soils. Landing move on deeply plowed (40-50 cm) and the fertilized soil root chereshka in length of 20-25 cm and thickness not less than 1 see. Land in the spring in the furrows cut at distance of 45-60 see Chereshki have obliquely at distance of 25-40 cm and cover a layer zemli3-5 see.
