Planting techniques and time of Chinese cabbage
Unlike Chinese cabbage, Chinese cabbage has a shorter growth cycle, simple planting and better taste. You can usually eat fresh vegetables in a month or so.
Fast-growing, commonly known as "fast food", is fast-growing cabbage in plain English. Now is a good time to plant Chinese cabbage. Let's take a look at the planting points of Chinese cabbage. In fact, the planting points of Chinese cabbage are basically the same as those of Chinese cabbage.
First, select seeds.
It is necessary to choose excellent varieties resistant to pests and diseases to ensure that all seeds are full, not shriveled and not diseased. Because Chinese cabbage can be planted all year round, we should choose the suitable varieties of Chinese cabbage according to the season.
Second, fertilization and soil preparation.
Chinese cabbage has strong adaptability and less requirements for soil. Before planting Chinese cabbage, we should plow and rake it flat, then carefully prepare the soil and evenly sprinkle farmyard manure as base fertilizer.
Sowing can be spread or ridged. As long as the soil is moist and fertile, Chinese cabbage can grow rapidly.
Third, on-site management.
After sowing, Chinese cabbage will emerge quickly. Generally, the seedlings will be all in a few days, and the seedlings can be thinned in time. Weeding weak seedlings, yellow seedlings and diseased seedlings, fixing seedlings and weeding can be carried out at the same time to avoid unreasonable loss of nutrients.
After the Chinese cabbage seedlings are fixed, they should be watered in time to ensure the proper water demand of Chinese cabbage seedlings.
Fourth, pest control.
The growth cycle of Chinese cabbage is short, and the seeds are resistant to pests and diseases, most of which will not affect Chinese cabbage.
However, we should also pay attention to taking certain preventive measures to truly achieve "prevention first, combining prevention with treatment", and it is best to use artificial or biological treatment.
Fifth, harvest.
Chinese cabbage can usually be picked in about a month. We usually harvest Chinese cabbage with strong plants first, and when we pick it again, the rest of the Chinese cabbage grows again. In this way, we can eat fresh and nutritious vegetables every time.
Chinese cabbage can be planted all year round, but now it is usually planted in autumn in northern China. It can make up for the problem that fresh vegetables are different in color from autumn to winter.
To sum up, in the growth process of Chinese cabbage, although the planting is relatively simple and grows rapidly, only by doing a good job in field management, eliminating weeds and controlling pests and diseases can Chinese cabbage with good taste and rich nutrition be planted.
