Radish plant growth

Radish plant growth,its types ,food combination and Health benefits

Present article deals with how radish beans are grown, what are the types, what are their benefits and how can they be prepared.

Radish Types and appearance

Mongare is a type of herbaceous plant others include  red round radish , long white underground edible root called mulli in pakistan and several regions of asia. Each one has its own distinct taste and are cooked in different types of dishes. All are from the Brassica family. They have the most unique shapes to look at and in taste they are comparative to each other and are delicious vegetables in diffrent combinations. The round red radish is eaten in salad while the long white underground root is also eaten whole in salad and in Pakistan it is eaten filled in shredded form in wheat flat unleavened bread called paratha. It is also eaten as a snack and in curry salan in asia pacific region.

  

My procedure to grow Radish pods

My advice is to buy high quality seeds to grow good quality pods. I put 20 seeds in a big pot and spread a fine layer of garden greens and peat moss mixture on top of them. Which I kept in the light sun. Radish pods grow from best during winter. 

After 7 days of seed sowing seeds germinated very good. In another 15 days, they were transferred to big pots. After 50 days of maturity, the plant started to produce beautiful four-petalled flowers. 

Bees and other bees were forced to nest in the flowers for pollination and after a few days millet pods began to form, which resulted in a bad harvest of another 10 days and not in the years of the harvester. Some millet pods were allowed to remain on the main plant, which matured and matured for another 20 days to become seeds for planting the next crop.

Selection of Radishes for Pods Growth

All radishes have the potential to develop pods when brought to flowering stage.These pods are juicy,edible somewhat crispy and are edible in different ways.Some Edible varieties grown all over the world may include:

• Rat's Tail – this is the  edible podded radish of classic type.
• Dragon's Tail – the pods are purple for this sort of Radish.
• Singara – an heirloom from type pods from |Indian region.
• Munchen Bier – a German variety which also produces edible roots.

Diseases and problems associated with Radish Growth

• After maturartion of Radish plant,some caterpillers may start producing larvae on new leaves and branches.These larvae came from butterflies which may secrete sticky secretion leading to development of Net/web.

  

  Petals and flowers entangled in web of caterpillars fall off

• Some leaves may get yellow with onset of maturation which indicates that plant is secreting waste in form of yellow leaves and may fall off.It also is indicative of low plant nutrients.

Plant running Low in nutrients generate yellow leaves as plant waste

• Whole plant may fall off due to plant laden pods.It may also be associated due to delicate branches.Plant may also fell down due to overwetted soil leading to plant dropping down on earth.

Whole plant laden with Pods fallen off

• Branch of Radish plant may tilt over/bend from centre downward.This problem is assocated with some plant pathogen,under watering,overwatering and even no support to longer branches carrying pods.

  

  Plant branches tilting over from centre.

Nutritional Benefits of Radishes

Couple of Antioxidants are present in Radishes including many phenolic compounds including Catechin,Vanillic acid and pyrogallol.The root of Radishes are rich source of Vitamin C which itself is an antioxidant.

How much caffeine do you need in daily life?benefits and adverse effects

We all have definite amount of caffeine intake in our daily life. Caffeine is added in our body by consuming soft drinks like coke or by taking tea and coffee.

Caffeine also relieves from anxiety and tiredness due to which it belong class of most widely used ingredients. 

Mechanism of Action

 While discussing about its mechanism of action caffeine acts on our brain and vital organs by inhibiting or blocking adenosine receptors which is in nurotransmitter produced in our body to relax ourself and in the same way activate noradrenaline and dopaminergic receptors.

Benefits of Caffeine

1. It may lower risk of diabetes Mellitus

Caffeine has the tendency to reduce risk of Diabetes Mellitus. Your insulin sensitivity may be decreased by caffeine. That implies that your cells no longer respond to the hormone as strongly as they once did. After you eat or drink, they don't take as much sugar from your blood. Because of this, your body produces more insulin, which results in greater levels after meals.

2.It boosts metabolism and burns fat

Caffeine has the tendency to burn calories by boosting up the metabolism.It reduces the weight of an individual depending on daily consumption of caffeine in tea.Caffeine burns fat which ultimately reduces weight.

3.Caffeine reduces risk of Heart Disease

As caffeine is associated with reduction in body fat and higher metabolic rates,it reduces the risk of cardiac diseases.Any type of caffeinated drink increases blood pressure thereby stimulating heart and decrease vital organ to collapse.

Growing Tomatoes:An art and a Myth

Tomatoes growing is an art and I have an association with the art of tomato growing. Tomatos are rich source of Vitamin C and lycopene and are veey beneficial from health point of view.

Tomato is a perennial herb whose Scientific Name is "Solanum lycopersicum" (Family Solanacea)whose seeds can be sowed throughout the year except during frost days and extreme hot summer day. 

I have a personal experience of growing tomatoes over 15 years. I always preferred to start tomatoes from seeds.As an experiment I selected seeds which were hybrid and in few of My Experiments I harvested seeds from domestic plants. 

To prevent attack of my plants from pests and algae I conferred my seeds to undergo Algae attack initially by placing my seeds in small amount of water and holding it for a couple of days; a black mould appearing on the surface Where revealing that plant will survive from algae and pathogens. 

This experiment was performed on harvested domestic seeds from market bought tomatos. I sowed these seeds at end of summer season in september and i got my seedlings aftter 10 to 14 days which were not tender and were looking strong enough to survive against environmental conditions. 

After 2 months these tomato plants were turning into mature plants.One important thing was that i grew them in sacs.They were packed with Soil of approximate 5 kg in each bag.

I always try calcium carbonate to my plants soil at this level atfer regular intervals.According to my exposure,egg shells proved to be best source of calcium to my plants. For this purpose,i retained some egg shells of daily use and i allowed them to dry.Then by crushing and mashing into fine powder,i added these egg shells in bottles containing water. I poured this Calcium containing water on my tomato plants at regular intervals of every week. 

By Adding this calcium containing water to my tomato plants,resulted in increased size of leaves.

After another few days,yellowish flowers appeared on my tomato plants when its size was 2 to 2.5 feet approximately. These yellow flowers are self pollinating,they become tomatos due to power of wind,insects and flies by which pollination started. 

After another 20 days,these yellow flowers dimished and changed into beautiful buds like appearance which were Raw tomatoes. 

I picked extra branches and some leaves to strengthen my tomato's and to increase the bulk weight of tomatoes. By appling these methods a Got bunch of tomatoes from every plant. 

It was the time when i waited for about 20 more days to get red tomatoes.During this phase,load of water and nutrients was increased so as to fulfill plants demands. I harvested these tomatoes when they were red and also collected seeds for next term of tomato season.
