The "15 Days" radish variety is an ultra-early variety with a vegetation period of about 18-20 days, which allows for a quick harvest. The root crops have a bright red color with a white tip, an oval-elongated shape measuring from 5 to 8 cm in length and weighing from 18 to 36 grams. The radish pulp is white, juicy, tender, and has a weak spicy flavor without bitterness, making it especially attractive to consumers. The variety is distinguished by high resistance to bolting and relative resistance to cracking, which helps maintain the marketable appearance of the fruits.
Growing "15 Days" radish is possible both in open and closed ground, with the best results achieved by planting in early spring or autumn. Radish prefers moist and loose soil; seeds are sown at a depth of 5-10 mm with a sowing rate of about 200-280 plants per square meter. To speed up seedling emergence, sowings can be covered with polyethylene film. It is important to avoid overcrowding, so thinning is conducted if necessary. Radish requires moderate but regular watering, preferably in the evening, as well as regular soil loosening and weed removal.
For successful cultivation of the variety, crop rotation must be observed, the sowing material must be disinfected, and protective measures against pests and diseases must be taken. Fertilizing is applied only when necessary to avoid disrupting the natural development of the plants. Thanks to its taste qualities, maturity, and resistance to unfavorable conditions, "15 Days" radish is an excellent choice for growing both at home and for commercial purposes.
