How to plant cauliflower Movir 74
There are several ways to get a harvest from your plot. Some gardeners prefer seedlings, but there is also a seedless method.
Growing through seedlings
For most gardeners, this method is the most proven. All work should begin in February. Check the seeds, discard damaged and empty ones, and treat them with a manganese solution. The containers need to be washed and ventilation holes made in them. It is not recommended to use common boxes: the sprouts do not tolerate transplantation.
Suitable peat cups for cauliflower seedlings Movir 74 should have a volume of 50-100 ml
Algorithm of actions:
- Pour a drainage layer 1-2 cm thick into the container. For this you can use broken brick or sand.
- Fill the container with soil and moisten the soil.
- Make holes in the soil mixture. The depth of each should not be more than 0.5-0.7 cm.
- Place 1-2 seeds in the center of the hole and cover with soil.
- Cover the glasses with film or glass and move the plantings to a warm place.
Caring for seedlings involves airing, watering and weeding. If both seeds hatch, then you need to leave only one, the strongest specimen, in the container.
Seedless method
This method is the simplest. You should dig up a bed for the Movir 74 cauliflower, then apply fertilizer and sow the seeds. But to achieve success, planting material must be prepared.
It is recommended to take several seeds from different packages and wrap them in a damp cloth. You need to keep the workpieces in a warm place. If sprouts have not appeared within five days, the seeds should be thrown away: they are unsuitable for growing.
Those samples that hatched are suitable for further work. They need to be soaked in moderately hot water for 10-15 minutes and then doused with cold water. This procedure will harden the planting material.
A mandatory step in working with Movir 74 cauliflower seeds is to irrigate them with a stimulant solution
Before planting, wet planting material should be slightly dried at room temperature, and then the procedure begins. In the garden bed, you need to make furrows up to 2 cm deep, place the seeds there and sprinkle them with soil on top.
Important! The optimal time for the seedless method is the beginning of May, the soil should begin to warm up. And although the plant is not afraid of temperature changes, sudden climate change will negatively affect the crop.
Growing rules
To get an early harvest, planting is carried out in early March. During this period, the seeds are planted to obtain seedlings. For these purposes, use a common large container in which the seeds are placed at a depth of 1 cm and at a distance of 5 cm from each other. After this, the container is removed to a warm place with a temperature of 25-27°C. This condition is necessary to speed up the process of emergence of the first shoots. The higher the room temperature, the faster the seeds will sprout.
Follow the planting pattern
30 days after planting, the seeds are planted in open ground. If the soil has not warmed up to a temperature of 13°C and there is a risk of frost, the rows are covered with plastic film. Every day the film is raised for 2-3 hours to allow air to get inside. As soon as the risk of frost disappears, the film is completely removed. Planting pattern - 50 x 60 cm. Depth of planting seedlings - about 5 cm.
Further care

- Water in the morning or evening, but control the soil moisture. The optimal interval is once every 3-5 days. Excess moisture can lead to rotting of the roots.
- After each watering, loosen the soil and remove weeds. The depth of working the soil does not exceed 5 cm, so as not to damage the roots.
- Fertilizers should combine mineral and organic fertilizers. The first time to add substances to the soil is required 25 days after transplanting the crop into the beds.
