Description of the variety
The Dabel F1 radish variety was registered by Dutch breeders in 2006. Dutch varieties have long been famous for their high quality indicators:
- early ripening;
- record yield;
- resistance to diseases and pests;
- excellent taste characteristics.
Radish Dabel F1 is characterized by neat compact rosettes of leaves, under which large bright red roots are formed. Their ripening time is only 18-23 days. If the planting scheme is followed, the roots are leveled, dense, without any voids. Even standing on the vine does not provoke the hollowness of the plants. The crispy juicy pulp is moderately spicy. The variety is perfect for growing in greenhouses and open field.

Seed preparation
Dabel F1 radish in open beds can be grown all season - from March almost until the end of autumn. The last sowing is carried out in October. In greenhouses, the variety can be cultivated even during the winter months. Seedlings begin to germinate already at +3 degrees. It is recommended to calibrate radish seeds before planting. After calibration:
- the seeds are placed in a cloth moistened with water and placed in a warm place for a day;
- after processing, the seeds are slightly dried and sown in the soil prepared in the fall.
Features of agricultural technology
Radish reacts well to fertile sandy loam soils with low acidity. Knowing some of the features of growing in different conditions will help you get a healthy and rich harvest:
- regular loosening of plantings contributes to an increase in planting productivity;
- radish beds need to receive enough sunlight; with shading, more intensive development reaches the tops to the detriment of the root crop;
- the optimal temperature for the development of radish is + 18 degrees;
- its useful precursors are carrots and onions; it is undesirable to plant it after cruciferous plants.
Open ground technology
For spring plantings on open beds, they are prepared in the fall:
- dug up a site with the addition of compost and mineral compounds - potassium and phosphorus salts;
- in early spring, the beds should be slightly loosened, cleaned of weeds and level the surface;
- in the same period, nitrogen-containing fertilizers are applied.
The first crops in early spring give the largest root crops due to the high humidity of the air and soil against the background of a short period of illumination.Radishes planted in June may be partially shot off due to a long and hot summer day. The formation of small tops allows you to compact the planting, using example patterns when sowing:
- 5X5 cm;
- 6X5 cm;
- 6x6 cm.
The optimum seeding depth for seeds is considered to be 2.5 cm. In the case of industrial planting, seeders are used with a precision seeding program. In small suburban areas, you can sow radishes in bulk.
Growing rules for greenhouses
In winter, Redis Dabel F1 is successfully grown in glass greenhouses. Sowing seeds is carried out from September to February according to the 6X5 or 6X6 scheme. The beds are covered with plastic wrap to keep them warm. Care rules are simple:
- at a humidity of 70%, before the emergence of shoots, the temperature inside the greenhouse is maintained within 25 degrees;
- after germination of seeds within 3-4 days, the temperature will be 5-6 degrees;
- from the deployment of the cotyledons to the first true leaves - from 8 to 10 degrees;
- when forming root crops - from 12-14 in cloudy weather and up to 16-18 on sunny days.
At the same time, the soil temperature is maintained within the range of 10-12 degrees. The greenhouse is regularly ventilated. Before the formation of root crops, watering should be rare, but then they should become regular. Then the radish will turn out to be juicy and large.
Radish Dabel F1 grows equally well both in the greenhouse and in open beds. However, violation of agricultural technology for its cultivation can lead to certain problems. It is more convenient to present them in the table.
Most common problems | Their reasons |
Poor root development | Lack of watering for a long time Planting too dense Lack of batteries |
Too thick tops in the absence of root crops | The dose of nitrogen fertilizers is exceeded |
Low taste | Daylight is too long |
Intense shooting | Late sowing dates Hot weather Day length |
Cracking root crops | Uneven watering |
Protection against diseases and pests
Radish Dabel F1 is quite resistant to typical diseases of the culture. Correct crop rotation is the best preventive measure against them.
Diseases / pests | The main symptoms | Protection methods |
Mucous bacteriosis | Leaves turn yellow and then fall off | Spraying with Bordeaux liquid |
Downy mildew - a fungal disease | Yellow and brown spots on the leaves | Treatment with fungicides, Bordeaux liquid |
Fungal disease black leg | Yellowing and deformation of leaves, blackening of the base of the stem | Disinfection of seeds, growing healthy seedlings |
Cruciferous flea | Large eaten holes form in the leaves and the plants die | Treatment with wood ash, tobacco dust, insecticides |
Conclusion
Radish Dabel F1 is an early ripe hybrid variety that has gained popularity with its high consumer properties and simple care rules.
