2. Growing methods for small green cabbage

1. Raising seedlings

First water the potting soil thoroughly, mix the small green cabbage seeds evenly with fine soil and broadcast them on the soil surface, then cover with a little thin soil, just enough to cover the seeds. It generally takes three or four days to sprout, and about a week when the temperature is low. You can also use spot sowing, with two or three seeds per hole and a spacing of about three to five centimeters; when the temperature is high the spacing can be smaller, and when the temperature is lower the spacing should be slightly larger.

During the seedling stage, keep the soil moist; when the temperature is high, water once each morning and evening. Half a month after germination, apply a thin spray of decomposed organic fertilizer once along with watering. When the small green cabbage seedlings have four or five true leaves, they can be transplanted and planted out, with plant spacing depending on the size of the variety. After planting out, water thoroughly and provide a little shade; once established, manage normally.

2. Water and fertilizer

During the growing period, small green cabbage should be watered at the right times to keep the soil moist. Large green cabbage has a high fertilizer requirement and needs a high base fertilizer; during the growing period it must also be top-dressed in stages, following the principle of light application early, heavy application in the middle, and supplementary application late.

3. Harvesting

For open-field seedling raising, March Slow is harvested from late February to late March, April Slow from greenhouse seedling raising is harvested from late March to early April, and May Slow is harvested from late April to early May. Remove the roots with a kitchen knife and market the vegetables cleaned.

3. Pest and disease control

The common insect pest of small green cabbage is aphids, the main vector of viral disease. Usually pay more attention to observing the underside of the leaves; if you find signs such as wormholes, leaf spots or yellowing, treat with pesticide promptly. However, do not spray pesticide in the month before the harvest period, otherwise it will harm human health.
