Planting time of Chinese cabbage

Chinese cabbage has strong cold resistance and wide adaptability. The plant can grow healthily regardless of low temperature or high temperature environment. However, the most suitable sowing time is generally in late autumn and early spring, when the temperature is generally between 10-20 degrees. If the temperature is below 10 degrees, the growth rate will slow down, and if it is above 20 degrees, the fiber will become developed, affecting its taste.

How to plant Chinese cabbage

1. Land preparation and fertilization

Chinese cabbage is not picky about soil and can grow well even in places with poor fertility. The yield will be higher in loose and fertile garden soil. Moreover, due to the well-developed root system of the plant, deep plowing is required during land preparation, with a depth of about 25-30 cm. After that, sufficient base fertilizer should be applied, with more compost or manure, and the fertilizer should be turned into the soil to avoid its volatilization and waste.

2. Sowing

Before preparing to sow Chinese cabbage, you must first water the soil thoroughly. After the water has penetrated, you can sow the seeds. The seeds should generally be mixed with 5-6 times the amount of fine soil. After sowing, cover the soil with 1 cm thick fine soil. After that, you don't need to water it, just wait for the seeds to take root and sprout.

3. Field management

Thinning is required 4-5 days after the Chinese cabbage seeds germinate. Wait until the seedlings grow to 5-6 inches high and then thin again. The plant spacing should be controlled at 10 cm. After that, apply appropriate urea fertilizer and water once. Do not provide too much water and fertilizer before winter to prevent the plants from growing too tall. Water with frozen water after winter to help the plants resist the cold.

Things to note when planting Chinese cabbage

Common pests during the growth period of Chinese cabbage include aphids, yellow flea beetles and diamondback moths. Therefore, during the maintenance process, the growth of the plants should be checked once a week. When insects are found on the leaf buds of the Chinese cabbage, they need to be removed immediately and insecticides and sterilizers should be sprayed on the soil surface.
