Diego F1 radish is an ultra-early, high-yielding hybrid of the Soran type, developed by the Dutch company Hazera. The root crop matures in 20-25 days after sowing, allowing for a quick harvest of fresh produce. This radish is suitable for cultivation under various conditions: in open ground, under plastic coverings, and in greenhouses, enabling year-round cultivation. The crop demonstrates high adaptability and stress resistance, successfully forming fruits even under incomplete daylight and drought conditions.
The fruits of Diego radish have a bright red color, a diameter of about 4-5 cm, and a dense, juicy white flesh without veins or tough fibers. The skin of the root crops is delicate yet reliably protects the flesh, preserving freshness and flavor. The radish has a rich, refreshing, and mildly spicy taste, making it popular among gardeners and consumers. Due to the absence of bolting and good storage properties in the soil, the harvest can be stored for a long time without loss of quality.
The variety exhibits resistance to several common diseases, including root rot, powdery mildew, and rizoctonia, reducing the need for intensive plant protection. The recommended sowing rate is 200-250 seeds per square meter, which ensures a potential yield of 3.5 to 5 kg per square meter. Diego F1 radish is low-maintenance in agronomy, making it an excellent choice for both experienced and novice gardeners.
