Care

Cabbage differs from most other crops in that it loves water very much. However, this does not mean that it needs to be watered abundantly every day. The amount of water required is regulated by the period of development of the vegetable.

From the moment the seedlings dive into the exhaust gas until the head begins to form, watering gradually becomes more frequent. Much, of course, depends on the climatic conditions in which the crop is grown. For cabbage, the ideal soil moisture is within 75%.

We recommend reading: Description of the cauliflower variety Goodman

Stop watering cabbage approximately 3 weeks before harvest. This will protect the heads from cracking and increase their shelf life in the cellar.

As for loosening, the first loosening procedure is carried out immediately after the seedlings take root in a new place. Then loosening is carried out as needed (usually once every 8-10 days) or after heavy watering, but until the leaves close together in the rows.

The first time the soil is loosened to a depth of no more than 5 cm. This is all due to the fact that the root system is still on the surface and deeper loosening can damage it. Next, the depth is increased to 6-8 cm, and then completely to 8-10 cm.

It is also worth noting that the crop needs to be hilled. The first hilling is carried out 2-3 weeks after planting the seedlings in the exhaust zone. Later hilling will lead to damage to the root system. Hill up the cabbage after watering or fertilizing, raking the soil down to the true leaves. Additional hilling allows you to form new roots, which will make the rosette more stable.

The cabbage is hilled for the second time 2 weeks after the first time.

Agricultural technology

Seeds are planted for seedlings approximately in the second half of March-early April. The immersion depth of the seed is from 0.5 cm to 1 cm. After 5-7 days, if the conditions are favorable, the first shoots begin to appear.

When growing seedlings, it is very important to ensure that they do not stretch. Seedlings are stretched due to lack of sunlight. Therefore, if this problem is observed, it must be resolved quickly.

In addition, the seedlings are periodically fertilized with mineral fertilizers so that they develop better.

Seedlings are ready for diving into open ground within 30-45 days after germination. A sign of readiness is the presence of 4-5 true leaves on the stem.

Taininskaya seedlings are transplanted into open ground somewhere at the end of May.

Planted according to the standard 60x60 cm pattern. Planting holes must be previously prepared and fertilized. They are fertilized with wood ash. The seedling is planted up to the first true leaf. After planting the seedlings, water it with warm water.
