Transplanting method of Chinese cabbage

When transplanting Chinese cabbage, it is best to choose a plot with high terrain, convenient irrigation and drainage, and fertile soil. You can use row sowing or broadcast sowing, and the sowing amount per acre of seedbed is about 200 grams.

Management of Chinese cabbage after transplanting

1. Temperature and moisture:

   Cabbage is relatively easy to grow after transplanting. Temperature and water are the main factors affecting its survival after transplanting. In spring, the low temperature will cause the seedlings to be difficult to survive. Maintaining a suitable temperature is the key to the growth of cabbage after transplanting. Pay attention to watering thoroughly every time you water it. Generally, water the seedlings again every 3 to 5 days to help the seedlings adapt.

2. Fertilization and pest control:

   After transplanting the cabbage, normal field management needs to be carried out in time. Water and apply fertilizer once when rosette leaves and heart appear respectively. At the same time, disease and pest prevention work needs to be done well, so that the cabbage will grow well after transplanting.
