Variety traits
Cold resistance of radish
Raphanus sativus L.
Radish possesses high cold resistance: seed germination begins at +3…+5°C, and mature plants can withstand short-term frosts down to -5…-6°C.
In the reference 5 varieties crop Radish, where this is mentioned in the description.
Biological characteristics of radish allow for sowing the crop in open ground during the early stages of the spring season, immediately after the soil thaws and dries out. High resistance to low temperatures makes it suitable for early spring cultivation, with the ability to withstand frosts down to -6°C being a characteristic species trait.
Despite the ability of the plants to survive at low temperatures, prolonged periods of cold weather are undesirable for agronomic practice. Exposure to cold triggers premature bolting in radishes and slows down the development of root crops; therefore, in breeding, this trait is considered in close connection with resistance to bolting.
