Daikon radish is a large, white root vegetable known for its crisp texture and mild, slightly sweet flavor. It is a staple in many Asian cuisines, often used in salads, pickles, soups, and stews. The root can grow to impressive lengths, sometimes reaching up to 30-45 centimeters. Daikon radish is rich in vitamins and minerals, particularly vitamin C and potassium, and is valued for its digestive benefits. The plant is easy to grow, maturing quickly and thriving in cooler weather. Its fast growth and adaptability make it a popular choice for both home gardeners and commercial farms.

Water Needs: Daikon radish requires consistent moisture. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry periods, but avoid waterlogging.
Sunlight Needs: Full sun to partial shade. Daikon radish grows best with 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily but can tolerate some shade.
Time to Germinate: 4-10 days.
Seed Soaking: Soaking is not necessary for daikon radish seeds. They typically germinate quickly in well-prepared soil.
Tray/Pot Recommendations: Directly sow seeds in the ground. Daikon radish does best when planted directly in the garden as it develops a long taproot.
Space Requirements: Sow seeds 5-10 centimeters apart in rows spaced 30-45 centimeters apart. Thin seedlings to about 10-15 centimeters apart to give each plant enough space to develop its large root.
Temperature Requirements: Daikon radish thrives in cooler temperatures between 10-20°C but can be grown year-round in Thailand with appropriate moisture and shading during hotter months.
Best Growing Season: In Thailand, daikon radish can be grown year-round. However, planting during cooler months (October to February) can enhance root development and prevent bolting.
Time to Harvest: 50-70 days. Harvest daikon radish when the roots are large and firm but before they become overly mature and woody. Gently pull the roots from the soil to avoid breakage.
