Raphanus sativus Minowase Summer No.3 F1

Loose, well-draining sandy loam rich in organic matter; avoid heavy clay to prevent root deformation.

Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged; irregular watering causes bitterness or splitting of roots.

Full sun exposure required for optimal root development and sugar accumulation.

Apply balanced vegetable fertilizer at planting, avoid high nitrogen which promotes leaves over roots.

Thin seedlings early to ensure space for root expansion; remove bolted flower stems if harvesting is desired.
