INSECT PESTS:

Insect net installed at the time of sowing will keep the turnips free of insect pests, including flea beetles and root maggots.

HARVEST:

Young, radish-size turnips are ready in about 30 days; full-size turnips are ready in about 40–50 days. Roots are smoothest when small.

STORAGE:

Turnips with greens store at 0°C and 95% relative humidity for 10–14 days.
