What fertilizer is best for cabbage?

Cabbage fertilization time

Cabbage needs to be applied with base fertilizer about fifteen days after planting, and then frequently fertilized during the vigorous growth period. Less topdressing is needed in the seedling stage and when it is close to maturity. In addition, timely fertilizer is also needed when the cabbage enters the flowering period.

What fertilizer to use for cabbage

If you want to apply base fertilizer to cabbage, it is more appropriate to use manure water, phosphorus fertilizer and wood ash, which can allow the plants to adapt to the planting environment faster and thus increase the survival rate of the planting.

In addition, it is suitable to use manure water for irrigation during the cabbage seedling stage, which can promote the growth of seedlings and improve their resistance. Growth fertilizer is mainly nitrogen fertilizer, which can prompt it to enter the rosette stage as soon as possible and form a head as early as possible, which can shorten the plant's growth cycle.

Cabbage fertilization method

When fertilizing cabbage before planting, in order to concentrate the fertilizer effect, the base fertilizer can be applied directly to the planting wedge, and then the soil in the hole can be mixed evenly after it dries, ready for transplanting. If the plant survives and needs topdressing, use a diluted liquid of human and animal manure.

During the cabbage spreading period, before and during the middle of heading, top dressing needs to be applied 3-4 times. Top dressing is mainly made of human manure, pig manure, etc., and a little chloride fertilizer can be added. In addition, during its growing period, chemical fertilizer should be added less than 2 times to avoid affecting the quality of the plant.
