Premium New York-grown Daikon Tillage Radish seeds for soil health. Break up compaction, improve aeration, recycle nutrients, suppress weeds & enhance fertility. Ideal for cover crops, organic farms & sustainable gardens.

The Daikon Tillage Radish (New York-grown) is a superior cover crop seed variety trusted by farmers, homesteaders, and gardeners for its exceptional soil-enhancing properties. With its deep-penetrating taproot, this radish breaks through compacted layers, boosting aeration, drainage, and nutrient cycling naturally.

Adapted to the Northeast climate, our New York-grown Daikon Radish offers high germination rates, strong cold tolerance, and reliable performance across multiple soil types. As the radish decomposes, it enriches soil with organic matter, reduces erosion, and leaves behind natural channels for root and water penetration.
