How can radishes increase yield? Seeking advice


       Let me teach you a method. This method can be used in all four seasons, and the effect is best in autumn and winter. On a sunny day, insert a sharp knife into the center of the heart leaves and dig out the growing point. If the heart leaves do not scatter when dug out, it proves that the growing point has been reached. After the wound heals in 6-7 days, use 20-30 loads of human and livestock manure and urine per mu, adding 100 grams of urea per load, and pour it around the roots. Never pour the manure water onto the radishes, to prevent disease and rot. After that, every 15 days, bank the soil around the roots once with burnt soil ash, and check the condition of the growing point. If it was not dug out cleanly, the growing point will still sprout new leaves, and you can dig it out once more, no longer allowing it to add new leaves, so that nutrients are concentrated and supplied to the fleshy root, with an increase rate of 90%.
Precautions: If the old leaves turn yellow after digging out the heart leaves, you can spray with 0.2% monopotassium phosphate. This keeps them evergreen and vigorous. At the same time, you should keep banking the soil around the roots. If drought occurs, water in time to keep the vegetable plot moist. It should be noted that the radish tops should be exposed above the ground.
