Care
Cultivation of the Kolya F1 hybrid is possible both by seedling and seedling methods (by sowing seeds in open ground). Sowing work for growing seedlings begins from the beginning of March and continues until the last days of April. It takes 50-55 days for the seedlings to fully ripen. Seedlings should be planted in open ground in May-June. Sowing seeds in a seedless way occurs from the beginning of April to the end of May, the first shoots are noticeable after 4-6 days.
Lighting
Seedlings need good lighting
When growing seedlings in early spring, the seedlings do not have enough sunlight. For the normal development of plants, fluorescent lamps are used for 10-12 hours a day. 10-14 days after the appearance of the first shoots, the seedlings are thinned out or picked. This allows the seedlings to receive uniform illumination.
Temperature
The optimum temperature for seedling formation is 15-18 ° C. To prevent the plants from becoming too elongated, they need to provide the following temperature: at night - 6-9 ° C, during the day - 15-17 ° C. It also has a beneficial effect on the development of the root system.
2 weeks before the planned date of transplantation into open ground, the seedlings are gradually prepared for environmental conditions - a hardening process is underway. For the first few days, the plants are provided with fresh air. During the next period, they are taken out into the street for 2 hours, the length of time is increased every day. The last few days, seedlings are not moved indoors.
Watering
Young plants need systematic and moderate watering. The moisture content of the soil is controlled, it does not dry out and excessive moisture. Older plants need more watering. The amount of water and the frequency of irrigation depend on climatic conditions and soil condition, under normal weather conditions, watering is carried out every 5-7 days, in dry periods - every 3 days. Water for irrigation should be warm and settled. Irrigation is carried out in the evening, after the vegetable crops are spud or mulched.
Top dressing
To obtain higher yields, at least 4 dressings are carried out for the entire growing season. This is especially useful during the ripening period of heads of cabbage. Fertilizers for feeding can be organic or mineral. Organics - mullein infusion (1 liter of water and 100 g of manure); wood ash (1 tbsp. per 1 sq. m.). Mineral fertilizers - solutions based on nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus.
Diseases and pests
The Kolya cabbage hybrid has a strong immunity to fusarium, vascular and mucous bacteriosis, and thrips. Diseases that threaten plants - keela, white rot, black leg. Diseased leaves and heads of cabbage are removed to avoid the massive spread of bacterial or fungal diseases. Colloidal sulfur, oxyhom, Abiga-Peak are used for processing vegetable crops. In the fight against harmful insects: cabbage fly, slugs, scoop, leaf beetle and aphids - drugs "Nemabakt", "Fury", "Iskra-M" help.
Conclusion
According to the characteristics, the Kolya F1 variety has a lot of advantages. This variety is universal in use, does not require special care, has high productivity, long shelf life, resistance to some types of diseases. It is suitable for home use and mass production.
