About -

Bring a burst of sunshine to your garden with Richgrow Seeds Golden Yellow Turnip Open Pollinated Seeds, a non-GMO, heirloom variety (Brassica rapa), perfect for home gardeners and farmers seeking sweet, versatile harvests at an unbeatable price! Known as Golden Ball or Golden Globe, this turnip, documented since 1854, produces round, golden-yellow roots, measuring 7–10 cm in diameter and weighing 100–150 grams, with smooth, tender, yellow flesh that offers a sweet, mild, nutty flavor reminiscent of rutabaga, ideal for raw salads, roasting, mashing with butter and shallots, or adding to soups and stews, ready to harvest in 45–65 days. Rich in vitamins C, A, K, folate, and minerals like calcium and potassium, these turnips support immunity, bone health, and anti-inflammatory benefits, while their edible greens add a nutritious boost to salads or cooked dishes. The compact, dwarf plants, growing 30–45 cm tall, are resistant to pests like aphids and diseases such as Alternaria leaf spot, thriving in cool climates, with optimal sowing in spring (February–April) or late summer to early fall (July–September) across Pan-India, particularly in states like Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, and Maharashtra, as noted in prior sowing discussions (April 10, 2025). Sow 2–3 seeds at a 0.5–1 cm depth in well-drained, loose loamy soil (50% garden soil, 30% compost, 20% sand, pH 6.0–7.0) under full sun (6–8 hours daily), spacing 5–8 cm apart in rows 30–45 cm wide; thin seedlings to 10–15 cm apart when 5–10 cm tall to ensure robust root development, achieving 85% germination within 5–10 days at soil temperatures of 7–25°C. Keep soil moist with weekly watering (1 liter per plant), avoid fresh manure to prevent woody roots, and fertilize with organic compost every 2–3 weeks; use neem oil for pests like cabbage worms. Harvest roots at 5–7 cm for peak tenderness and greens when 10–15 cm long, with excellent storage in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months. Available in Kitchen Garden Packet (KGP) (200–250 seeds), Standard Packet, Professional Pack (200–250 grams), or custom bulk orders, all in eco-friendly, resealable, moisture-proof, UV-protected packets with an 85% germination rate, designed for your sustainable vision at www.richgrowindustrialcorporation.com, reflecting your eco-friendly, customer-centric brand with nature-inspired packaging (green, brown, white).
