RADISH INSECTS:
More than slight flea beetle damage (pinholes in leaves) can reduce
growth rate and thus reduce quality of the radishes. Control heavy
infestations by frequent spraying with a Rotenone/Pyrethrin spray or
using an insect barrier or row cover such as Reemay or AG-19. Root
maggot populations can also be reduced by using a row cover. You can
reduce the amount of time (and therefore the damage) that root maggots
have to invade the radish root by encouraging rapid growth, followed by
prompt harvesting.
