Instructions for care and landing
Time to land
As a rule, sowing starts in mid-March. Seeds are planted to a depth of 1 cm, and at the end of April, seedlings should have five or more leaves. During this period, they are transplanted to the garden bed.
Choosing a place
Before planting cabbage seedlings on a bed, it is necessary to take into account requests for crop rotation. It is not recommended to plant cabbage after beets and several seasons in a row on the same place.
The best place to place the beds will be the land after carrots and cucumbers.
Soil for early varieties
It is advisable to cook beds for these vegetables in the fall, for this you can use fresh manure as a fertilizer and dig up the site. Under the early cabbage processing beds begin in late April.. It is necessary to evenly distribute the compost on the site and re-dig it to a depth of 17-20 cm.
Landing
When sowing seeds in a bed, early cabbage should be sown in rows with a distance of 30 cm. Usually, seeds are planted in small grooves, lightly covered with earth and slightly tamped.- Then you need to pour plenty of water and cover with polyethylene, which should be removed only after germination. When growing cabbage in a seedling way, you first need to prepare it, following the simple conditions of care. In this case, the main requirement is to withstand a temperature of about 20 degrees and a light day for about 10-12 hours.
- When the appearance of 5-7 leaves, seedlings can be planted in the ground in the same way as seeds. The depth of planting at the same time should not exceed the point of growth of the stem.
When sowing seeds in a bed, early cabbage should be sown in rows with a distance of 30 cm. Usually, seeds are planted in small grooves, lightly covered with earth and slightly tamped.Temperature
Cabbage, without doubt, is a plant that easily tolerates a lower temperature. Although for a shoot of shoots it is enough + 3-5 degrees, but for the friendly appearance of seedlings you need +20 degrees. For the grown seedlings for normal growth, + 14-17 degrees is enough. The cabbage is adversely affected by temperatures of +25 degrees and above.. In such hot conditions, the cabbage tissue begins to thicken, and the lower leaves turn yellow and fall off.
Watering
An essential criterion for the excellent yield of vegetables is regular and proper watering of plants. It depends on him the taste and other properties of cabbage.
Watering the vegetables in the garden should be warm water, since cold liquid can provoke a weak growth of the root system and as a result - a disease of the plant.
As a result, heads of cabbages may form weak, or not even begin to form. It is especially important to comply with the irrigation regime on the fragile seedlings.
Top dressing
How the plant will develop, and how large the head will be formed, depends largely on how this vegetable is supplied with nitrogen. This is especially important before tying the fork, and when the fruit begins to form, it will be necessary to potash fertilizer.
In this way, 7 days after transplanting, it needs to be fed with urea solution (3 tablespoons per 10 liters of water), and before forming a fork, ammonium phosphate is used in the same proportions.
Hilling
As a rule, this operation is performed twice per season: one and a half weeks after transplanting, to maintain a thin stem and after 40 days - to strengthen the root system. In addition, re-hilling protects the plants from the influence of the wind (does not allow it to bend) and removes excess moisture from the soil.
As soon as the seedlings take root, you need to hold the first loosening.. Subsequent to be carried out with an interval of about 8-9 days.
A few words about hilling - this event is vital cabbage, because a stalk sprinkled with earth gives additional roots, which, in turn, has a positive effect on future harvest. The first hilling is performed 3 weeks after landing.

- Vascular bacteriosis. The first signs of the disease manifest themselves in the Parel F1 hybrid four weeks after planting crops on a flower bed, and sometimes continue until harvest.Notice that a spot appears first on the lower leaves, and gradually the spots reach the central stem.
- Mucous bacteriosis. During the formation and setting up of the head of cabbage, brown oily spots appear on the leaves below, after which parenchymal cells are affected and moist rot with an unpleasant odor develops.
