When growing white cabbage, certain difficulties arise for summer residents. The most popular are the reluctance of cabbage to tie into cobs or the appearance of cracks on the finished cobs.
Details
The reason that the cabbages do not tie may be that the cabbage was planted in the shade. This makes the plant reach for the sun.
But the appearance of cracks can be provoked by several reasons.
- Uneven watering and droughts lead to the fact that the growth of the inner leaves sometimes accelerates, then slows down. As a result, the cob cracks under pressure from the inside. The same thing happens if you constantly pour water over the cabbage
- An excess of nitrogen in the soil also leads to such consequences. It is applied at a minimum and only at the beginning of the growing season together with potassium and phosphorus supplements.
- The same can happen with calcium deficiency and potassium overdose.
- In addition, bilokachanna painfully reacts to a deficiency of sulfur, boron and magnesium. These are the most important supplements for growing cabbage. The most important rule when growing cabbage is to avoid an overdose of fertilizers.
In second place after the balance of nutrients is the watering regime.
