The vegetables Mandarin names are still uncommon in English in most forms of Chinese cuisine, it is usually known as Chinese white radish,5 although in Cantonese and Malaysian cuisine, it is encountered as lobak or lo pak, which are southern Chinese dialect pronunciations of the general Chinese term for radish and carrot.

Agricultural useeditTillage radish leaves behind a cavity in the soil when the large tap root decays, making it easier for the following years crops, such as potatoes, to bore deeper into the soil. Potatoes grown in a rotation with tillage radish do not experience growth restrictions associated with having a shallow hardpan, as the tillage radish can break the hardpan, and makes transfer of water, and other important nutrients, much easier for the rooting system. Nutrient retention is another important feature of tillage radish. The large tap root is designed to retain macro and micro nutrients, that would otherwise have the potential to be lost to leaching during the time when the field would otherwise be left empty. The nutrients from the root become readily available for the following years crop upon the decay of the radish, which can boost yields, and reduce fertilizer costs.

If left in the ground, the texture tends to become woody, but the storage life of untreated whole roots is not long. Certain varieties of daikon can be grown as a winter cover crop and green manure. These varieties are often named tillage radish because it makes a huge, penetrating root which effectively performs deep cultivation. They bring nutrients lower in the soil profile up into the higher reaches, and are good nutrient scavengers, so they are good partners with legumes instead of grasses if harsh winters occur, the root will decompose while in the soil, in the spring releasing early nitrogen stores.
