Planting time of Chinese cabbage seeds
When planting Chinese cabbage, you need to choose a plot without pollution, which has good drainage and air permeability, and you can also apply some base fertilizer. If the varieties are different, the planting time is different, and it will usually be planted in August and mid-October. If it is greenhouse maintenance, it can be postponed until November.
Method and proces for planting Chinese cabbage seed
Chinese cabbage can be sowed and drilled. Sowing means sowing seeds directly, as long as care is taken not to spread them too densely. In the later stage, only soil is spread on the soil surface. Drilling means hollowing out in advance according to the planting density. When planting, two or three seeds can be sown in each hole. Drilling is more conducive to the later management.
1, Soil base fertilizer: Before planting Chinese cabbage, the soil should be fertilized. This is because the growth cycle of Chinese cabbage is short, and there is almost no need to fatten it up in large quantities during the whole growth cycle. Therefore, in order to make Chinese cabbage grow well, it is necessary to apply fertilizer. It is suggested to use farm manure as the base fertilizer, sprinkle it on the soil surface, and then shallow turn the soil to ensure that the soil and fertilizer are evenly mixed.
2. Land consolidation: After fertilizing the soil planted with Chinese cabbage, it is necessary to integrate the land. Chinese cabbage has shallow roots, and the leaves are close to the soil layer, so soil moisture is more likely to affect Chinese cabbage. In order to facilitate the later water control of Chinese cabbage, before planting, it is necessary to ditch the soil to ensure that the soil layer will store water for a short time.
3. Seed selection and sowing: Most Chinese cabbages are planted directly in seed shops. This kind of seed does not need to be treated because it has been treated in advance. Before planting Chinese cabbages, it needs to be awakened by warm water and soaked in medicinal liquid.
Matters needing attention in seed planting of Chinese cabbage
Chinese cabbage can be planted all year round, and the temperature requirement is not high. In the later management, it is not necessary to control it too much. Under normal circumstances, Chinese cabbage will sprout two or three days after sowing. From germination to maturity, it is almost unnecessary to water it, just to ensure that the soil is slightly moist.
In terms of disease resistance and insect resistance, it is necessary to strictly follow the principle of prevention in advance, even treatment. It is suggested that a layer of plant ash be spread around Chinese cabbage, which can not only prevent many diseases, but also avoid being eaten by many pests.
