Advantages and disadvantages of a hybrid
Agricultural technology
Caring for cabbage isn't complicated and involves a few basic steps. It's important to plant the seedlings correctly and provide them with proper care.
Landing
Seeds for seedlings are usually sown 5-6 weeks before the planned planting in open ground. When planting seedlings in the ground, it is recommended to maintain a planting density of no more than 3-4 plants per square meter.
- ✓ Soil pH should be between 6.0-7.5 for optimal cabbage growth.
- ✓ The soil should be rich in organic matter, with a humus content of at least 4%.
Choose a site with good sunlight and adequate drainage. Cabbage prefers sunny locations and loose, fertile soil. It's recommended to amend the soil with compost or humus before planting.
Watering
Proper watering is key to caring for cabbage. This vegetable loves water, so regular hydration is essential to ensure its health and development. Apply enough water to penetrate the soil to the correct depth and moisten the plant's roots.
It's especially important to increase watering once the heads begin to form, but gradually reduce watering two weeks before harvest. This will help prevent heads from splitting and ensure the harvest lasts until harvest.
- × Avoid over-watering the soil, as this can lead to the development of fungal diseases.
- × Do not use cold water for watering to avoid stressing the plants.
Top dressing
Cabbage is fertilized twice during the growing season. The first application is aimed at stimulating leaf growth, which plays a key role in head development.
Fertilize approximately two weeks after planting the seedlings outdoors. Prepare a solution of 20 grams of urea per 10 liters of water. This amount is enough to water 6-7 plants.
The second feeding is necessary for the formation of a high-quality head of cabbage and is carried out two to three weeks before it begins to form. To do this, prepare a solution of 0.5 kg of mullein per 10 liters of water. In this case, approximately 1 liter of solution is used per plant.
Gardeners' reviews
