Characteristics
- Rapid germination and growth
- Leaves: pinnate, incised
- Flowers: white
- Root: very thick taproot that dies off in winter
- No nematode resistance against Heterodera schachtii
- Dies off reliably with minus 6-7 °C
Use
- Weed-suppressant effect
- Late generative stage allows early seeding of succeeding crops
- Accelerates soil warming in spring by loosening the soil; thus allows early seeding of maize
- Once radishes have died off in winter, the resulting gaps create optimum root space for succeeding crops
- Excellent loosening of soil and compactions
