Daikon Radish (also known as Forage Radish or Tillage Radish) is a deep-rooted brassica bred to improve soil structure, nutrient recycling, and feed diversity. Its powerful taproot penetrates compacted soils, increases aeration, and draws up nutrients from deeper layers - making it a valuable component in pasture renovation, cover cropping, or mixed forage systems.
Daikon produces high-quality leafy forage with a large, white taproot that’s palatable to livestock, particularly in autumn and early winter. It’s ideal for soil health, grazing, and regenerative farming systems across New Zealand
