1. Planting time

The planting time of cabbage is actually not fixed. , because different regions and different climates have a great impact on the growth of cabbage, so only spring cabbage, summer cabbage, autumn cabbage and winter cabbage appear on the market. Generally speaking, the best time to plant cabbage is in April and April in the spring. In September in autumn, the most suitable temperature for cabbage growth is 20-28 degrees, so cabbage grown during these periods has high yield and good quality.

2. Select varieties

There are many varieties of cabbage, such as flat cabbage, round cabbage, Brussels sprouts, collard cabbage and purple cabbage. Each type of cabbage adapts to different environments. Therefore, you can choose the most suitable variety according to the region you are in. For example, Hunan is more suitable for growing round cabbage, and the Yangtze River Basin is more suitable for growing flat cabbage. In areas with a drier climate, you can choose Brussels sprouts. Specifically Breed selection needs to be based on specific circumstances.

3. Land Selection and Preparation

Cabbage has a strong ability to adapt to the environment, so it does not require specific soil and soil quality. However, when selecting land, be careful not to choose land for continuous cropping because it is very difficult to Blast is prone to occur. When preparing the land, you also need to pay attention to clearing the debris in the field first before starting to plow the land. When plowing the land, plow the land as deeply as possible, and then expose it to the sun for a few days before going to the field every 1 hour. A ditch is set up at a distance of -2 meters to prepare for drainage in advance. Finally, an average of 1,000 kilograms of farmyard manure and 50 kilograms of plant ash per acre are spread to wait for sowing.

4. Sowing methods

There are two ways to plant cabbage. First, sow the seeds at a certain distance and then cover the seeds to wait for seedlings to emerge. The other way is to first plant them on the seedbed. Grow seedlings and then transplant them. When sowing and raising seedlings, you must first water the seedbed, then spread the seeds evenly on the seedbed and cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil. If necessary, cover it with a layer of withered grass or plastic film. To maintain the soil temperature, the seedlings can be transplanted when they grow to 6-8 cm. When planting, the row spacing should be 40 cm and the plant spacing should be 35 cm.

5. Field Management

The first thing after transplanting is to water it every 3-5 days. After about 10 days, the plants transplanted in the field will Some do not survive, so the seedlings need to be patched up within 5-10 days and then wait until the seedlings officially become viable. In order to make the field look tidy, the first fertilization needs to be carried out along with cultivating and weeding. This can reduce unnecessary nutrient consumption and strengthen the To improve soil permeability and nutrient storage, an average of 100 kilograms of urea is needed per acre. The second fertilization is when the cabbage starts to slowly roll its leaves, which is when it needs the most nutrients. An average of 1,000 kilograms of urea is needed per acre. Fertilizer, 50 kilograms of potassium fertilizer, 50 kilograms of compound fertilizer and 30 kilograms of phosphate fertilizer need to be watered at the same time. If there is a lot of rain in the season, you have to dredge ditches in the field to drain away the excess water. In the end, some cabbages tend to form balls due to some reasons. It is loose so it can be tied slightly with straw.

6. Prevention of diseases

Common diseases of cabbage include downy mildew and black root disease. Downy mildew affects the growth of cabbage leaves and generally manifests itself as spots on the leaves. Slowly increasing, it will look like mold. In severe cases, it will wither. The method of prevention and control is to spray chlorothalonil every 5-6 days. It will be cured after 2-3 times. Black root disease mainly damages the roots. , the prevention method generally needs to be done before planting. During land preparation, the land should be disinfected with quicklime before planting or spraying chlorothalonil.

Summary: The above is the relevant introduction to the methods of planting cabbage. Growers can refer to the above planting methods when planting cabbage. I hope it will be helpful to friends in need!
