German

Consistent performance for summer and autumn production

The «German» radish variety, developed by the agricultural cooperative «Agrofirma Mars» (breeders A.V. Aliluev, T.V. Shtaynert, and Heterosis Breeding), is a targeted solution for growers facing the challenges of long-day conditions. Unlike many standard spring varieties, «German» is bred specifically to withstand high temperatures and long daylight hours, effectively delaying bolting and maintaining quality during the mid-to-late summer planting window.

Key characteristics for the professional grower

Efficiency is the primary strength of this variety. With a maturity cycle of only 20–25 days, it enables rapid turnover, allowing for multiple crop cycles throughout the summer and autumn seasons.

• Crop quality: The root develops into a perfect round shape with a vibrant, bright red skin that retains its color and firmness throughout transport and storage.
• Size: Average weight ranges from 25 to 30 grams, fitting the high-demand market standard perfectly.
• Marketability: Due to its uniformity, the variety is highly suitable for professional harvest operations, minimizing culls and ensuring a high-class yield.

Why choose «German»?

This variety is optimized for farmers who prioritize yield stability during the critical transition period between summer and autumn. While many other radish varieties tend to become pithy or bolt under heat stress, «German» maintains its texture and integrity.

For optimal results, consistent moisture management is key. Although the variety is resilient, it requires adequate irrigation to support the rapid growth of the 25-30 gram roots. Avoid over-density at sowing; proper spacing allows the plant to fully express its potential, preventing the foliage from competing with the root development. It is an excellent choice for those looking to maintain a constant supply of premium-grade radishes for local markets and retail chains well into the autumn.
