Its the 6th of October when these pics were taken. The oil seed radishes are knee high and the annual rye grass is about a foot tall. Where there was a liquid manure application the color and growth are phenomenal. Even without manure the growth is still good. The area where the straw windrows were laid had some volunteer wheat growing and it kind of slows the growth of ARG.


The standing stubble on the right are just about covered.
I haven't dug for rooting depth yet on the ARG. I thought I would wait till about November.

One surprising thing I see now is that on the oil seed radishes the tubers or roots have 8 to 12 inches in the ground, but also have 4 to 6 inches above ground. If this growth was all below ground that would be tremendous.


There are some seed heads starting to appear. I was told that once this happens the radishes are done growing. They are very scattered and mostly on the manured side. This could affect the seeding date that you are looking at. Radishes like the cooler weather of early fall.Seeding after soybean harvest in northeastern Indiana its probably to late.

This plant has the flower on it.
