Groundhog Radish Seed Now Coated

[Brinktown]

For the past several years, I’ve bought a 50lb bag of groundhog radish to use in the Knox brassica and cereal mixes. This year, I noticed the seed had a pink coating on it. I assume they are charging the same now for less seed, and now it throws off the lb/acre I had been accustomed to, but by how much? Just wanted to let you all know they made a change to coated seed. If anyone knows if buying uncoated groundhog is still an option, please let me know.

I normally ask for daikon radish and it’s uncoated.

The radish I purchased this year was not. I get mine from an Ag supplier.

I found link below. Lots of “reasons” for less seed in the bag.

Read the seed tag. It will tell you the percentage of seed, coating, weeds, etc

I planted groundhogs for the first time in years and noticed they’re about 1/3 inert matter by weight. So I increased my normal seeding rate by 1/3, it’ll be interesting to see the results.
