The 'Kormilets' radish variety is an early-maturing crop with an ultra-early ripening period, allowing the first harvest to be obtained just 20 days after sowing. The root vegetable has an elongated-cylindrical shape, colored pink with a white tip, features a flat head, and weighs an average of 20-23 grams. The flesh is white, juicy, tender, and mild in taste, making this variety particularly attractive for culinary use. The leaves are semi-erect, oblong-ovate in shape with a grayish-green coloration and petioles with an anthocyanin tint.
The 'Kormilets' variety is distinguished by high yield, reaching 3-3.4 kg per square meter, and resistance to bolting, which ensures a stable and prolonged harvest collection. Radishes are recommended for growing in open and protected ground, with sowing at the earliest dates—from late April to early May. Seeds are sown to a depth of about 2 cm, with row spacing of 7 cm and distance between plants of 3-4 cm. For continuous root vegetable production, sowings are repeated at two-week intervals until mid-August, while in summer months it is advisable to create short-day conditions using light-blocking material.
For successful growing of the 'Kormilets' variety, loose, fertile soil is recommended, preferably loamy or clay loam, at a germination temperature of about +25 °C. Due to its taste qualities and juicy structure, this radish is excellent for fresh consumption and various culinary purposes, providing a delicious and healthy product in a short time.
