Seeds germinate quickly in 3-7 days in cool weather. Keep the soil consistently moist and loose so roots swell evenly. Harvest when roots reach 5-8 cm across, usually 40-60 days after sowing; smaller roots are sweeter and more tender. Avoid letting them over-mature or they turn woody and pungent.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the best time to sow turnip seeds in India?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTurnip is a cool-season crop best sown from September to November (the rabi\/winter season).
