Turnip Seeds – Planting, Care, Maintenance & Quality
How to Plant
- Soil Type: Loose, fertile, well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0 to 7.5.
- Sowing Time: Best grown in cool climates. Ideal time: October to February.
- Sowing Method: Directly sow seeds 1–1.5 cm deep in rows. Thin seedlings after germination.
- Spacing: Keep 10–15 cm between plants and 25–30 cm between rows.
- Germination Time: Seeds typically germinate in 5–8 days.
Care Instructions
- Sunlight: Requires full sunlight (at least 5–6 hours per day).
- Watering: Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during root development.
- Fertilization: Use compost or organic manure before sowing. Avoid excess nitrogen to prevent leafy growth.
- Thinning: Thin plants 10 days after germination to allow room for root growth.
Maintenance Tips
- Weeding: Weed regularly to reduce competition for nutrients and water.
- Pest Control: Watch for aphids, root maggots, and flea beetles. Use neem-based spray if needed.
- Disease Prevention: Practice crop rotation and avoid overwatering to prevent fungal issues.
- Harvesting: Harvest turnips when roots are 5–8 cm in diameter, typically 45–60 days after sowing.
Seed Quality
- High Germination Rate: Premium turnip seeds germinate above 85% success rate.
- Purity: Clean, untreated seeds free from contaminants or damaged kernels.
- Vigour: Seeds produce fast-growing, healthy plants with uniform roots.
- Storage: Store in airtight containers in a cool, dry place to maintain viability for up to 2 years.
