Harvesting and Cleaning
Seed maturation and harvest
Radish seed crops mature in approximately 150
days depending on variety, climate, and planting
date. Radish seed is ready to harvest when about
60 to 70% of the seed pods turn from greenyellow
to brown and lose their fleshy appearance,
becoming papery thin and light. Plants are first cut
above ground either mechanically with a drapelike
swathe or by hand with a machete
