The influence of radish growing conditions on the intensity of water consumption

The peculiarities of radish crop formation of domestic and foreign hybrids in open and closed soil conditions were experimentally investigated and substantiated. A study was conducted on increasing the yield of radish production of hybrids of domestic and foreign selection, an assessment of early stemming during cultivation in spring and summer crop rotations, as well as intensive light culture of the IV light zone of Ukraine was carried out. It has been proven that maintaining a pre-irrigation soil moisture level of 80% of the lowest moisture content in a layer of 0-20 cm ensures the formation of a crop of radish root crops with minimal water consumption. Management of the water regime of the soil to maintain the pre-irrigation moisture level of 70% of the lowest moisture capacity was confirmed by carrying out 3-5 irrigations with an irrigation rate of 126,9 m3/ha, 80% of the lowest moisture capacity was ensured by conducting 4-7 drip irrigations with an irrigation rate of 96,6 m3/ha, 5 -9 at a rate of 54,5 m3/ha
