This dual-colour mooli type is grown for its elongated roots with contrasting red and white skin.
Like other long radishes, it develops best in deep, loose soil that is free from stones, hard clods and compaction. Direct sowing is preferred because transplanting can disturb the developing root.
Red & White Long Radish can be used in:
Young healthy leaves may also be used in suitable cooked dishes.
G-11 Grow Bag – 11 × 10 inch
Suitable for compact planting with proper spacing.
G-12 Grow Bag – 12 × 12 inch
Recommended for better root depth and healthy long-radish development.
G-24 Grow Bag – 24 × 12 inch
Suitable for growing several plants together with adequate spacing.
Avoid overcrowding, as dense planting may produce smaller or poorly shaped roots.
Use:
50% Vermicompost + 50% Bhalu Mitti (Sandy Soil)
Mix thoroughly before sowing.
The growing medium should be:
Avoid fresh manure and excessive nitrogen, as these may encourage too much leafy growth at the expense of root development.
1. Prepare the Growing Medium
Mix 50% Vermicompost + 50% Bhalu Mitti thoroughly.
Remove stones, hard lumps and undecomposed material so the roots can grow straight.
2. Sow Directly
Radish is best direct-sown in its final growing location.
Avoid transplanting, as root disturbance can affect shape and development.
3. Sowing Depth
Sow approximately:
1–1.5 cm deep
Cover lightly with fine soil.
4. Water Gently
Water after sowing and maintain consistent moisture.
Avoid waterlogging.
5. Germination
Seeds generally germinate within:
3–7 days
under suitable conditions.
6. Light Requirements
Provide approximately 5–6+ hours of sunlight daily.
7. Thin the Seedlings
Once seedlings are established, thin crowded plants carefully.
Maintain approximately:
7–10 cm between plants
to allow long roots enough room to develop.
8. Watering
Maintain even soil moisture throughout growth.
Avoid prolonged dryness followed by heavy watering.
9. Feeding
The recommended growing medium already contains Vermicompost.
Avoid excessive nitrogen fertilizer because it may encourage foliage instead of root development.
10. Weed Control
Keep the growing area weed-free and avoid disturbing the developing roots.
11. Root Development
Keep the soil loose around plants and avoid pressing or compacting the surface.
12. Harvesting
Harvest once roots reach a useful size while they are still firm and tender.
Do not leave mature radishes in the soil too long, as over-mature roots may become fibrous, hollow or excessively pungent.
