Radish variety Hercules is an early-ripening and all-season variety, distinguished by stable and high yields. The root crops have a round shape with a diameter of 3 to 5 cm, a rich red or dark red skin color, and white juicy flesh. They are dense, crunchy, not bitter, and not prone to bolting, which ensures long-term preservation of commercial appearance and excellent taste qualities. Fruit weight is about 20-25 grams, and a thin, short rootstock facilitates harvesting and processing.
The radish Hercules has a small and compact foliage, which allows placing up to 300 plants per unit area, increasing growing efficiency. The radish tolerates low temperatures well, making it ideal for growing in film greenhouses early in spring and autumn. Moreover, the variety is resistant to high temperatures and does not bolt during summer cultivation, expanding its usage possibilities in various climatic conditions.
The maturation period varies from 20 to 45 days depending on growing conditions: 20-30 days in closed ground, 35-45 days in open ground. If necessary, the harvest period can be extended without the risk of hollows appearing in the root crops. Radish Hercules tolerates transportation over long distances well, maintaining freshness and commercial appearance even after washing. Thanks to these qualities, the variety is widely used for repeated sowings and is suitable for growing throughout the year.
