Radish MIKHNEVSKIY 1

Technical Profile of Ultra-Early Radish

The «Mikhnevskiy 1» variety, developed by the Federal Research Center for Horticulture (V.E. Yudaeva, A.I. Bokhan), represents a breeding solution aimed at maximizing production cycle efficiency. The key value of this variety lies in its high biomass accumulation dynamics combined with specific root geometry.

Morphological Specialization

• Vegetation period: 18–20 days from full germination. This allows for ultra-early market delivery in both greenhouse and open-field conditions.
• Root geometry: The cylindrical shape is an engineering advantage that optimizes spatial nutrition in dense planting schemes. This geometry facilitates a higher output of marketable weight per square meter.
• Weight characteristics: The marketable root weight ranges from 20–25 grams. The stability of these parameters, under standard agronomic practices, ensures predictable calibration before shipment.

The practical implication of integrating «Mikhnevskiy 1» into crop rotation is its reliability. Thanks to the expertise of the breeding team, the variety is adapted to local climatic conditions, minimizing risks during seasonal temperature fluctuations. The cylindrical root type also simplifies mechanized harvesting and post-harvest washing, which is critical for farms aiming to minimize manual labor costs and optimize operational efficiency.
