Radish Melito F1 Precision

RADISH MELITO - CULTIVATION CHARACTERISTICS

Melito is a radish variety intended for open field cultivation throughout the entire growing season, both in spring and autumn application timings. It can also be grown under flat covers, which increases its versatility in large-scale production. The plants form uniform, round tubers with a diameter of 35–45 mm, resistant to cracking. The skin is thin, and the interior is white, without tendency to become woody, ensuring high commercial quality.

The foliage is short and firmly attached to the crown, so the leaves do not detach even during mechanical processing. The variety is also characterised by resistance to downy mildew (IR).
