How to water the first shoots of radish: secrets of a rich harvest
Radishes need to be sown in loose soil, then thinned out, and also the right place to grow the root crop needs to be chosen.
As for fertilizers, summer residents are cautious with them. Not all organics are suitable, and most people call mineral fertilizers chemicals by default.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told how to water radishes to increase the yield.
A good harvest of radishes can be obtained if the bed is prepared in advance so that all the nutrients are absorbed into the soil.
In this case, the radish will not need to be fertilized at all.
But if the soil is not the most fertile, then for better formation of root crops it is necessary to add nutrients.
What to fertilize with
At an early stage, nitrogen additives (ammonium nitrate) are added.
Potassium-phosphorus fertilizers necessary for the root system (nitroammophoska) are also used.
Among natural complex fertilizers, it is best to pay attention to additives based on potassium humate (Baikal-EM).
After a week, the radish bed can be sprinkled with wood ash.
It will saturate the soil with phosphorus and potassium and, if necessary, reduce the acidity of the soil.
