Rutabaga sowing time

Variety of kohlrabi: There are many varieties of kohlrabi, generally divided according to the shape of the leaf ball. It can be divided into four types: pointed head type, round head type, flat head type and mixed type. You can choose according to your own interests. Sowing period: Kohlrabi is cultivated in open fields in the Yangtze River and Huanghuai regions. Sowing can be done in both spring and autumn, but autumn is better because the germination rate and survival rate are high. Generally, sowing can be done from late July to October, and harvesting can be completed from mid-September to March of the following year. The sowing time should not be too early. Summer is hot and dry with heavy rains, which is not conducive to seedling emergence. It should be covered with a sunshade net. If sown too late, the seedlings will be prone to cold snaps and freezing damage. Spring sowing can be covered with mulch, cultivated in greenhouses, and marketed in advance or delayed.

How to sow kohlrabi

To sow kohlrabi, you need to choose a suitable temperature, which is generally around 20-25. It is suitable for sowing in late summer and early autumn. Before sowing, prepare the seedbed, renovate and fertilize the soil, spread the seeds evenly, and wait for the seedlings to grow.
