Daikon Radish

Daikon Radish is a deep-rooted, forage radish that is an excellent option for food crops, forage for wildlife, and winter cover crops. The deep taproot breaks up tough, compact soil to improve water infiltration, suppress weeds, prevent pests, and store nitrogen. Daikon, translating to "big root" in Japanese, is a radish variety with large, fast-growing leaves and a long white root. Daikon Radish thrives in most soils across the world and should be planted in late summer or early fall for best results.
