Imbalanced fertilization has caused lower yield and nutrient use efficiency for radish ( Raphanus sativus L.) production in China. Estimating nutrient requirements for radish is crucial in optimizing fertilization to resolve the problem. On-farm experiments in the radish-growing regions of China fro...
