From our crop reference

Daikon is a vegetable crop, grown in the rabi season. Sow it in Sep–Nov and expect to harvest in 55–70 days. It wants a pH of 5.8–6.8 (close to neutral) and 10–25°C. Plant at 45 × 15 cm, allowing 8–10 kg of seed per hectare. A good crop returns around 30–45 t. Watch for aphid, club root.
