When and how to plant Chinese cabbage

Planting time of Chinese cabbage

It is generally more suitable to plant Chinese cabbage from March to August or mid-to-early September each year. The quality of planting in these two periods is better because the suitable temperature for its germination and seedling growth is between 15-30 degrees, and the climate and temperature at that time are most suitable for its growth and development.

How to plant Chinese cabbage

1. Choose varieties: There are many varieties of Chinese cabbage, so you need to select seeds based on sowing time, market demand and local climate. Be sure to choose seeds that are plump, disease-free and growing well.

2. Sowing method: The growth cycle of Chinese cabbage is relatively short, and its root system is relatively shallow, so it is necessary to apply sufficient base fertilizer when sowing, and then use direct seeding to spread the seeds evenly in the soil.

3. Field management: After planting, Chinese cabbage needs good management. It is necessary to water, fertilize and weed in time, which is more conducive to its growth, and thinning should be carried out reasonably.

Things to note when planting Chinese cabbage

1. When caring for Chinese cabbage, good field management is required, otherwise diseases and pests will occur, which is extremely detrimental to the growth of the plant. Once discovered, it is necessary to spray pesticides in time.

2. Chinese cabbage has a relatively high demand for water, so during maintenance, there must be sufficient water in the field. If there is no rain, it needs to be watered once every 7 days.
