The key to open-air overwintering cultivation of white cauliflower

One of the best varieties. Overwintering cultivation of white cauliflower should be selected with winter strong late-maturing varieties or special late-maturing species.

1, late-maturing varieties: Longfeng series or South Clover series 120 days, 140 days, cold, disease-resistant, plant height 60?65 cm, snow-white tight bulb, can withstand a short period of minus 6?7 ℃ low temperature. late July?August sowing, before and after the Spring Festival market, mu yield bulb 3000?3500 kg.

2, extra-late maturing species: Longfeng series or South Clover series 180 days, 200 days, plant height of 65?70 cm, cold, disease resistance, can withstand low temperatures of about minus 8 ℃. The flower ball is large, white and tight, single ball weight 1.5?2 kg. Sowing in mid to late August, planting in late September to early October, the following year 2?3 months on the market, mu yield flower ball more than 4,000 kilograms.

Two, cultivate strong seedlings. White cauliflower is sunny and warm, more drought-resistant, short growing season, and strong regenerative capacity. Nursery should choose the soil loose, convenient drainage of the field. Each mu of rotted stable fertilizer 1500 kg, human and animal manure 1000?1250 kg as base fertilizer. The amount of seed used per square meter is 2?3 grams. After sowing, cover with moist fine soil and shade net. After the seedlings are flush, apply a thin layer of fine soil between the roots of the seedlings to avoid root exposure and seedling collapse. Seedlings 2?3 true leaves when false planting 15 days, plant spacing 6.6 cm × 9.9 cm. In recent years, the application of three-dimensional cultivation technology, the white cauliflower and other crops intercropping sets of seeds can be sown 3-4 times a year, each of which can be picked several times.

Three, timely planting.

Seedlings 6?7 true leaves, seedling age 35?40 days planting. Late-maturing species planting period in mid- to late September, extra-late maturing species in late September to early October. Late-maturing species generally planted 2000?2200 plants per mu, border width 1.2 meters (including drainage ditch), plant spacing 50?60 cm, especially late-maturing species border width 1.3 meters (including drainage ditch), plant spacing 65?70 cm. Before planting, each mu of rotting stable fertilizer 3000?4000 kg, human and animal manure 1500?2000 kg, calcium superphosphate 20?25 kg. Planting as much as possible with the soil transplantation does not hurt the root, and watering enough living water. Mulberry garden set, it is appropriate to choose the special late maturity species. mid-October, autumn mulberry harvest is basically the end of the planting. March new branches have not yet extracted when harvested. The cauliflower branches can be buried green as mulberry base fertilizer.

Four, fertilizer management.

According to the reproductive characteristics of the overwintering white cauliflower, the planting of the fertilizer management methods used before the promotion, stabilization, after the attack. Live after each mu of rotted human and animal manure 500?750 kg plus urea 5?8 kg seedlings, and loosening the soil plowing 1?2 times. late October row by row plowing congestion, control the use of fertilizer, to ensure that the plant grows steadily, enhance the wintering stage of the ability to resist the cold. When 30% of the plants appeared 1?2 cm in diameter the size of the tender flower ball, should be re-applied ball fertilizer, per mu of urea 15?20 kg, manure 1000?1250 kg, and later look at the seedling supplemental fertilizer 1?2 times to meet the fertilizer and water needs of the ball period. Cauliflower is very sensitive to boron, molybdenum and other trace elements, can be used per mu of borax 50 grams or ammonium molybdate 10 grams of aqueous solution in the planting hole as a base fertilizer.

V. Harvesting. White cauliflower harvesting standards is that the flower bulb is fully grown, the surface is rounded, the edge is not yet spread. When harvesting, leave a few leaves under the ball, can protect the flower ball. In order to make the flower bulb white and tender, when the flower bulb reveals the leaves, the uppermost 2?3 leaves are broken to cover the flower bulb to prevent the flower bulb from turning yellow and purple.
