Cabbage Planting Technique Tutorial: Detailed Explanation of the Latest Planting Methods
Although cabbage is very common in daily life, it is actually a vegetable with very high nutritional value. Eating more cabbage has the benefits of promoting digestion, improving excretion capacity, and preventing overuse of the liver and kidneys. At present, the planting area of cabbage is also very wide, and it is a vegetable with very good economic benefits. So how should cabbage be planted? Below, the editor brings you the cabbage planting techniques. Let's take a look!
1. Land Selection and Land Preparation
Cabbage has very strong growth capacity and can grow normally in many types of soil. But if it is large-scale planting with high yield requirements, then we need to choose soil with deep soil layers, high looseness, and rich organic matter. It must also have good permeability, be free of pests and diseases, and be able to ensure the growth of cabbage. Then the land preparation work should be done well, plowing about 30 cm deep, finely leveling and harrowing, then exposing it to the sun for 2-3 days for disinfection to eliminate pathogens and pests in the soil. Then apply sufficient decomposed farmyard manure to provide sufficient nutrients for cabbage growth.
2. Sowing and Seedling Raising
⟦NL>Cabbage seeds have relatively strong germination capacity, but in order to further improve the germination rate of the seeds and avoid pest and disease damage, we should do a good job of germination promotion and disinfection before sowing to ensure its cultivation benefits. After sowing, management should be strengthened, and water and fertilizer work should be done well to promote seed emergence. After the seedlings emerge, thin them when they grow to about 3 true leaves, then thin them again at 6 true leaves, and do a good job of weeding to concentrate nutrients on the cabbage plants. Subsequently, according to different varieties, control the planting density and do a good job of final thinning, keeping one cabbage plant per planting hole.3. Water and Fertilizer Management
After cabbage is planted, it should be topdressed once in time, with farmyard manure applied about twice a week. According to weather changes and soil moisture conditions, fertilizers should be properly mixed with water and applied. During important growth periods such as the rosette stage of cabbage, pay attention to the concentration of fertilizer; topdressing about once a week is sufficient. Then after entering the heading stage, increase the proportion of potassium fertilizer, and stop fertilizing after the rows close. Cabbage has different water requirements at different growth stages. During the seedling stage, use small drip irrigation and just keep the soil moist. During the rosette stage, keep the soil alternately dry and wet; water must not be excessive, and when water accumulates, it must be drained in time.
4. Cultivation and Weeding
Proper cultivation can improve the looseness of the soil. Therefore, in order to facilitate the absorption of fertilizer by the soil, loosening the soil should be done well in the early planting stage. Combine it with weeding, especially on sunny days after the rainy season, and cultivate once in time to avoid soil compaction caused by environmental soil changes, which affects root growth. During the rosette stage, it should be carried out in combination with fertilization work. This facilitates water and fertilizer management and prevents pests and diseases. Then when watering, maintain a certain permeability in the water furrows, reduce field humidity, and avoid diseases such as soft rot.
The above is a brief introduction to cabbage planting techniques. Cabbage planting is relatively simple, but field management cannot be ignored. Only by doing the most basic things well can the healthy growth of cabbage be ensured. That is all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. Thank you for reading and supporting.
