The plants have an amazing ability to grow deep, penetrating taproots that break through compacted layers and plough pans, creating better drainage and air movement within the soil. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDaikon means \"large root\" in Japanese and refers to the large storage root that leaves deep holes in the ground, allowing water infiltration, soil aeration and nutrient scavenging. In just 6 to 8 weeks, Diakon Tilling Radishes can scavenge and capture up to 150 lbs of nitrogen per acre. Once killed, the decomposing plants release those nutrients as they break down, feeding the soil biology and subsequent crop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe succulent plants of Daikon Tilling Radishes also have rapid top growth, forming a complete canopy in as little as 60 days. This makes them \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewell-suited for erosion control and weed suppression. Seedlings are frost-tolerant (-3°C), and it is best to plant in late spring through early fall to delay flowering and maximize biomass development.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMature plants will generally winterkill in zones 7 or colder and can be tilled in summer, late fall or spring (after being killed by winter freezing). Soil can also be left unturned after the plants have winter-killed and planted directly with a new crop in spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrows well alone or combined with other species of cover crop. Commonly grown with Crimson Clover, Berseem Clover, Persian Clover, Annual Ryegrass, Millets, Sorghum Sudangrass and Cereals. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUntreated, Non-GEO Seed\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e250g covers approximately 1500 sq. ft\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e1 kg covers approximately 6000 sq. ft\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garlic Boy Farms","offers":[{"title":"2 LB","offer_id":46910937956540,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 LB","offer_id":46910937989308,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25 LB","offer_id":46910938022076,"sku":null,"price":199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0502\/5179\/2572\/files\/TillageRadish4.jpg?v=1780480968","url":"https:\/\/garlicgardening.com\/products\/daikon-tilling-radish","provider":"Garlic Boy Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
