Latest Technical Methods and Tutorial Highlights for Transplanting Chinese Cabbage
Chinese cabbage can be said to be the vegetable we eat the most nationwide, and its growing area is very extensive, distributed no matter where in our country. Now for large-scale cultivation of Chinese cabbage, the method of raising seedlings and transplanting is usually used. Because transplanting can better promote the growth of Chinese cabbage and increase its yield. So what needs attention during transplanting? Below, the editor brings you the key points of Chinese cabbage transplanting technology, let's take a look!
1. Seedbed Preparation
The seedling bed for Chinese cabbage should be set up in a plot that is sheltered from the wind and has sufficient sunlight, ensuring normal drainage and irrigation. Then make beds neatly, mix fully decomposed farmyard manure with garden soil, and spread it evenly in the seedling bed. Then according to the area of the seedling bed, appropriately add fungicides, potassium fertilizer, etc., to do a good job in disease and pest prevention. Prepare paper bags filled with nutrient soil, and sow 6-7 seeds in each paper bag. After sowing, cover with fine soil, water thoroughly, and control the temperature at around 26-27 degrees. After emergence, do a good job in thinning and final singling of seedlings, strengthen cultivation and weeding, do a good job in water and fertilizer management, and ventilate and harden the seedlings in time.
2. Timely Transplanting
Before transplanting, first prepare the field for planting well. The previous crop in the field should preferably be a grain crop, then form ridges and make beds, and apply sufficient base fertilizer. When transplanting, control the planting density according to factors such as the field area and variety. Do not plant too densely, as too dense planting will cause mutual shading, hinder light absorption, and affect the growth of Chinese cabbage. Pay attention to the transplanting time; it must not be too late, and at the latest must not exceed July, because after July, the temperature will rise in a straight line. Too high a temperature will cause great harm to Chinese cabbage, so pay much attention to this.
3. Cultivation and Weeding
About one week after planting, do a good job in checking and replanting seedlings, and thin the seedlings at the right time. Then strengthen cultivation and weeding, especially during the seedling stage and rosette stage of Chinese cabbage, because these two periods are peak periods of fertilizer demand for Chinese cabbage, and weeds will compete for nutrients, affecting the growth of Chinese cabbage. During these two periods, carry out cultivation 3 times. Cultivation can improve soil permeability, improve soil structure, and effectively remove weeds, reducing nutrient competition for Chinese cabbage. When cultivating, pay attention to the depth to prevent damage to the roots of Chinese cabbage, and stop cultivation after the Chinese cabbage rows close up to prevent leaf damage.
4. Water and Fertilizer Management
After planting, in order to improve the growth capacity of Chinese cabbage, topdress in time, mainly with nitrogen fertilizer and potassium fertilizer, to ensure the nutritional needs of Chinese cabbage during the plant development stage and head-forming stage are met and to increase yield. The water demand of Chinese cabbage is very large, but at different growth stages, the water demand will also change. After transplanting, control water, mainly with small droplet irrigation, avoid doing it at noon, and adjust the amount of watering appropriately according to soil moisture. After planting, strengthen the water and fertilizer management of Chinese cabbage to prevent lack of fertilizer and water during growth and ensure normal growth of Chinese cabbage.
The above is a brief introduction to the key points of Chinese cabbage transplanting technology. Growing Chinese cabbage is very simple. However, during the growth process it will suffer from diseases and pests, so we also need to strengthen disease and pest control to avoid unnecessary losses. That is all for today's introduction.
