Daikon Radish
Raphanus sativus var. longipinnatus
Daikon Radish (Raphanus sativus var. longipinnatus) is an annual forb native to Midwestern US states (such as Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois) and has also been successfully introduced across North America as a non-invasive cover crop that can thrive in USDA Zones 3–11 as a cool-season annual. Reaching a foliage height of 1–2 feet with a thick, deeply penetrating taproot, it features lobed green leaves and produces pale white to lavender flowers. It thrives in compacted soils in full sun and is ideal for agricultural soil decompaction, bio-tillage cover cropping, and nutrient scavenging.
