Chrysanthemum cabbage is a common leafy green vegetable that is rich in nutritional value. Here is a detailed description of how and when chrysanthemum cabbage is grown:
How to grow chrysanthemum cabbage:
Soil Preparation:Chrysanthemum cabbage is not very demanding on the soil, but it is better to choose loose, fertile, well-drained soil. Before sowing in spring, an appropriate amount of decomposed organic fertilizer can be applied to improve soil fertility.
Seeding time:Chrysanthemum cabbage is generally sown in spring or autumn. For spring planting, the optimal temperature is 15-25 degrees Celsius, which is suitable for growthAutumn sowing can be done when the temperature is cooler.
Seeding method:Chrysanthemum cabbage can be transplanted in two ways: direct seeding or transplanting after seedlings. For live broadcasting, spread the seeds evenly in a neatly arranged furrow and lightly cover with soil. When transplanting after seedlings, seedlings can be raised in the seedling tray first, and then transplanted to the field when the seedling stage reaches a certain height.
Spacing and line spacing:The planting spacing of chrysanthemum cabbage is generally 25-30 cm between rows and 20-25 cm between plants, so as to ensure the normal growth and ventilation of vegetable seedlings.
Irrigation Management:Chrysanthemum cabbage has a high need for water, especially during the period of rapid growth. Keep the soil moist, but avoid too much water to prevent pests and diseases.
Fertilization:Chrysanthemum cabbage needs the right amount of nutrients during the growing period and can be topdressed in the early and middle and late stages of growth. You can choose special fertilizers for vegetables containing nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other elements.
Pest Control:Regularly inspect the field and take timely control measures if pests and diseases are found. Organic pesticides can be used, and biological control methods such as the introduction of natural enemies can also be used.
Growth cycle and time of chrysanthemum heart:
Sowing to emerge:Chrysanthemum cabbage can generally emerge about 7-10 days after sowing.
Emergence to transplanting:If transplanting after seedlings are raised, transplanting can be carried out when the vegetable seedlings grow to 5-6 cm high, and proper watering is required after transplanting.
Transplanting to Harvest:The growth cycle of chrysanthemum cabbage is short, generally taking 30-50 days from transplanting to harvesting, and the specific time depends on factors such as growth environment, temperature and variety.
In general, the method and timing of chrysanthemum cabbage cultivation need to be adjusted according to local climatic conditions and specific conditions. Reasonable management and scientific planting can improve the yield and quality, and ensure the healthy growth of vegetables.
