Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
The Pusa Jamuni radish grows best in well-draining, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0). Choose a location with full sun exposure. This variety needs even moisture, so water regularly to keep the soil damp but not waterlogged. Mulching can help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds, creating a more stable growing environment​.
When to Grow
The Pusa Jamuni radish is a cool-weather crop that can be sown in mid-summer or fall. Sow seeds at least 4 weeks before the first expected frost in fall. The ideal temperature range for growing this radish is between 50-75 F, which helps maintain its flavor and texture. Be careful when planting during the hot summer months, as high temperatures can cause bolting and poor root development​.
How to Sow and Plant
Direct sow Pusa Jamuni radish seeds into the garden 1/2 inch deep and about 1 inch apart in rows spaced 12 inches apart. After germination, thin the seedlings to 4 inches apart to prevent overcrowding, which can lead to smaller roots. You can succession plant every 2-3 weeks to extend the harvest period​.
How to Grow
Maintain even soil moisture by watering the plants regularly, particularly during dry spells. Radishes require about 1 inch of water per week for optimal root development. Use organic mulch around the plants to help conserve moisture and reduce weed growth. Fertilizing is generally not necessary if the soil is rich in organic matter, but a light application of compost before planting can enhance growth. Keep the radish bed free of weeds, as competition can affect root size and quality.
How to Save
- Radishes are insect-pollinated, so you’ll need to isolate varieties by up to 1/2 mile or stagger plantings to avoid flowering at the same time.
- Staggering can be easy because of the radish’s quick maturity.
- Allow flower stalks to shoot up and seed pods to dry on the plant before picking pods and opening by hand to remove the seeds.
- Seeds will remain viable for up to 5 years when stored in an airtight container.
FAQ
Can Pusa Jamuni radishes be grown in containers?
Yes, they can, as long as the container is at least 6 inches deep, has adequate drainage, and is placed in a location with full sun​.
What should I do if my Pusa Jamuni radishes are bolting?
Bolting can occur due to high temperatures or inconsistent watering. If you notice your radishes starting to flower, it's best to harvest them immediately to prevent a decline in root quality. Ensure you plant radishes in cooler temperatures and maintain consistent soil moisture to reduce the risk of bolting​.
What are common pests that affect Pusa Jamuni radishes?
Common pests include flea beetles and aphids. To protect your radishes, use row covers and practice crop rotation. Regular monitoring and removal of pests can also help keep your plants healthy​.
