How to cultivate summer radish? Sow under local climate conditions. We should choose varieties that are resistant to heat and disease, and often water them in hot and sunny days to keep the fields from being dried by the sun and ensure the growth of radishes. There are many diseases and insect pests in radish planting in summer, so it is necessary to pay attention to frequent application of pesticides. However, radish will crack or even rot if it has too much water in the late stage of tuber expansion. Therefore, it is best to choose loose and drained sand. Combining deep ploughing and basal fertilizer application, the best ridge height for planting radish in summer is about15cm, so as to ensure that radish will not crack or rot in the later period.
