These radishes are very good to eat. You can find them in oriental stores. My wife is from the Philippines. We eat them weekly.

[@IntegratedPestManagement]

Yes! We've heard they pack a powerful punch of essential vitamins, minerals, and health perks. From aiding weight loss to enhancing liver function and reducing diabetes risk, these versatile veggies offer numerous health benefits.

Thank you for sharing this.

[@IntegratedPestManagement]

No problem!

[@sdfft820]

If you mow them after harvest but leave radishes in the ground, will they rot into the soil?

[@IntegratedPestManagement]

Yes, they rot and that taproot decays quickly in the soil leaving macro and micronutrients and releasing them for uptake by the following cash crop.

To increase soil health, which is why you plant cover crops- why put herbicide down? Defeats the purpose..

[@connieferguson430]

Herbicide.?
Then how and why would you have animals grazing .?😮😢😠

[@IntegratedPestManagement]

It's a research farm so they've used herbicides in various plots over the years 😉
