Growing and care

After planting in open ground, the cabbage sprouts quickly. A suitable area for planting seedlings is the sunny side of the garden. It is necessary to ventilate the area, but you cannot plant cabbage in a draft. The irrigation system depends on the location of the seedlings. Crops growing in confined conditions need additional soil moisture. In the shade, seedlings are watered less frequently to avoid rhizome rot.
For a hybrid, the neighborhood is important: the variety gets along well with root crops, after potatoes or legumes, the first early seedlings can be planted.
General care of the crop includes regular watering, thinning the beds, hilling and loosening the topsoil. It is important to regularly feed; for this, organic fertilizers are used.
Do not fill the beds: abundant watering leads to rotting of the rhizome and stump.
Diseases of the variety

The early cultivar is threatened by the keel. This is a disease that leads to tumors on the root of the cabbage. It appears when the air temperature is above 24 ° C and in acidic soil, therefore, to prevent it, it is necessary to apply mineral fertilizers to the soil. To combat the keel, prophylaxis is carried out: organic matter is introduced, liming is carried out. As soon as the cabbage root begins to wilt, the diseased plant is removed.
Rot is a common disease in garden crops. Such a disease threatens weak seedlings, which did not have time to get stronger before planting in open ground. The variety can get sick from neighboring crops that were not removed from the garden in time. Sick heads of cabbage are removed.
To preserve, the rest of the crop is collected in a timely manner and stored in a disinfected room. Disease prevention (soaking seedlings) avoids rot. If spots appear on the head of cabbage, the culture is sick - such symptoms cannot be ignored.
