Tillage Radish®
Tillage® Radish is a daikon-type radish selected for its exceptional field performance across various soil types and environments, from the Northwest to the Midwest and Transition Zone. It features a superior, deep-penetrating taproot, reaching depths of 3 to 6 feet depending on soil type, region, and planting date. The upper portion of the taproot (tuber) grows to 12 to 24 inches in length, making it highly effective at breaking up soil compaction and improving soil structure. Tillage Radish germinates quickly, within just 2 to 3 days when moisture is present, making it an ideal choice for enhancing soil health and nutrient cycling.
