Radish Smak

The 'SMACK' radish variety is an early-maturing and cold-hardy crop successfully grown both in open ground and protected spaces. This variety matures quickly—averaging 25-30 days—allowing for fresh root crops to be harvested as early as spring or during summer when sown in early August. 'SMACK' radish is resistant to bolting and flowering, significantly enhancing yield quality and stability.

The root crops of 'SMACK' radish have a round shape and a bright red color with juicy white or white-pink flesh. The flesh has a mildly spicy flavor, making this radish an excellent ingredient for spring salads and other dishes. The mass of one root crop is about 15-20 grams, and the yield reaches 1.5-2.7 kg per square meter. The fruits store well in the refrigerator, maintaining freshness for a long time.

For growing 'SMACK' radish, it is recommended to sow by rows in furrows 1-3 cm deep with a distance between rows of 7-10 cm. After 1-2 true leaves appear, thinning is carried out, leaving 2-5 cm between plants. Radish requires regular watering as the soil dries out and an optimal growth temperature of 18-20°C. Seedlings can withstand frosts down to -2-3°C, making the variety especially suitable for early spring sowing. 'SMACK' radish also has a moderate diuretic effect and aids in improving digestion.
