Kashi Hans' radishes are best suited for winter cultivation and can be harvested within 45 to 60 days of planting. The roots of this variety are crisp with a mild sweetness. On average, this variety yields between 40 to 45 tons per hectare.

A packet containing 100 grams of these seeds is available at a discounted price of Rs. 60, offering a 41% discount on the National Seeds Corporation website.
Radishes thrive in cool climates and can be cultivated in all types of soil. For optimal results, choose sandy loam soil with a pH level ranging from 6.5 to 7.5. Begin by plowing the field with a moldboard plow, followed by deep tillage using a cultivator or traditional plow. Incorporate 25 to 30 tons of organic manure per hectare into the soil and ensure proper leveling of the field.
Common diseases affecting radish crops include white rust, cercospora leaf spot, yellow mosaic virus, carrot fly, alternaria leaf spot, and damping-off. Farmers can combat these diseases by applying fungicides like Diathane M-45 and Zineb 78 WP mixed with water at a concentration of 0.2% on standing crops. Additionally, implement pest control measures during field preparation.
