where this is mentioned in the description.
When transplanting seedlings into the field, it is strictly forbidden to bury the central bud ("heart"), as this inhibits growth. The planting pattern should provide a spacing of about 40–45 cm between rows and 30–40 cm between plants, while the crop requires maximum light exposure to form a marketable root.
An important agrotechnical practice is the removal of soil from around the base and the trimming of side roots, which prevents the formation of "beard" and stimulates the thickening of the main root. The crop is sensitive to soil composition, requires avoiding fresh manure, and necessitates the application of boron during the root swelling phase to prevent internal hollows.
