The 'LUBAVA' radish variety is an early-maturing type that ensures a high yield of marketable root crops and synchronized harvest formation. The period from germination to harvest is 18-23 days, allowing for a fresh harvest in a short time. The root crops have a cylindrical shape with a pink-red upper part and a white lower part, with a blunt tip. The average mass of the root crops is from 20 to 30 grams, diameter — 2-2.5 cm, length — 4-6 cm. The radish pulp is not sharp, juicy and tasty, which makes it attractive for fresh consumption.
For successful cultivation of the 'LUBAVA' variety, it is recommended to choose sunny plots with light loose soils, such as loamy, loamy sand, and cultivated peat soils with neutral or weakly acidic reaction. On heavy soils, radish tends to bolt, and acidic soils require liming to prevent diseases such as clubroot. The temperature regime is optimal in the range of 15°С to 20°С. Radish requires regular watering, especially in hot weather, so that the fruits remain juicy and do not become woody. However, excessive watering after drought can lead to cracking of the root crops.
The 'LUBAVA' variety is characterized by resistance to bolting, which increases its reliability when growing. Thanks to the juicy, smooth and hollow-free root crops, this radish is suitable for cultivation both in private gardens and for commercial purposes. Its attractive appearance and pleasant taste make it in demand among consumers.
