About -

Brighten your garden with Richgrow Seeds Red Turnip Open Pollinated Seeds, a non-GMO, heirloom variety (Brassica rapa), ideal for home gardeners and farmers seeking vibrant, flavorful harvests at an unbeatable price! Known as Red Globe or Scarlet Turnip, this variety produces round, vivid red roots, measuring 6–9 cm in diameter and weighing 80–120 grams, with a crisp, white flesh offering a sweet, slightly peppery flavor, perfect for raw salads, pickling, roasting, or adding to stews and soups, ready to harvest in 40–60 days. Packed with vitamins C, A, K, folate, and minerals like calcium and potassium, these turnips support immunity, heart health, and anti-inflammatory benefits, while their edible greens provide a zesty addition to salads or cooked dishes. The compact, upright plants, growing 25–40 cm tall, are resistant to pests like flea beetles and diseases such as clubroot, 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 promote healthy root growth, achieving 85% germination within 5–10 days at soil temperatures of 7–25°C. Maintain moist soil 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 or aphids. Harvest roots at 5–7 cm for optimal tenderness and greens when 10–15 cm long, with excellent storage in a cool, dry place for up to 2–3 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).
