Radish 'Alexey': Focused on Ultra-Early Harvest

In conditions requiring a quick crop rotation and high turnover, the 'Alexey' variety from Sspk Agrofirm Mars serves as a reliable tool for both commercial farms and home gardeners. Originated by a breeding team led by A.V. Aliluev and T.V. Shtaynert, this radish is designed to reach market maturity in an extremely tight timeframe.

Key Advantages

• Early Maturity: The period from germination to technical ripeness is only 18-20 days. This allows for multiple plantings per season, covering the demand for early vitamin-rich produce.
• Uniformity and Mass: The rounded roots, weighing 25-30 grams, feature excellent uniformity. For commercial vegetable growing, this means minimal sorting losses and an attractive appearance on the shelves.
• Plasticity: The variety is well-adapted for both spring and autumn cultivation, making it versatile for both open fields and greenhouses.

Cultivation Nuances

'Alexey' requires careful attention to soil moisture. Due to its short growth cycle, it does not tolerate water stress—if the soil dries out, the root can lose its crispness and develop bitterness. The intensive growth type requires moderately fertile, well-aerated soils. Unlike many foreign hybrids, this variety demonstrates a good response to fluctuating spring temperatures, making it a predictable choice in variable climates.

Who is this for?

If your goal is to clear the field quickly for subsequent crops or to capture the "first profit" at the beginning of the season, 'Alexey' stands out as one of the best options in the regional breeding segment. It is optimal for market retail thanks to its bright red color, which is synonymous with freshness and quality for consumers.
