Misato Green

Japanese breeding for the summer season

Misato Green by Sakata is a specialized daikon hybrid that transforms the approach to summer root crop production. In conditions where most traditional varieties are prone to bolting or losing quality due to long daylight hours and high temperatures, this Japanese selection offers a market-proven solution.

Agronomic potential and specifications

This hybrid was developed for producers planning a continuous harvest schedule during the summer. A maturity period of 50–60 days allows for quick field turnover and predictable yields. The cylindrical roots reach a mass of 150–200 grams, an optimal size for retail networks that value compact and uniform produce.

• Color: Classic white, emphasizing the purity and freshness of the crop.
• Planting density: 0.25–0.50 million plants/ha, allowing for flexible yield management based on soil fertility.
• Use: Ideal for fresh consumption, featuring the mild, crisp flavor profile characteristic of high-quality daikon.

Sakata's reputation in the cruciferous segment is well-established. By choosing Misato Green, growers gain genetically built-in resistance to environmental stress. This is more than just seeds; it is a technology designed to minimize the risk of yield loss during mid-season production. The variety demonstrates excellent establishment and uniformity, which are critical for mechanical harvesting or post-harvest processing.
