Growing and care
Growing method
The variety can be grown in any region
Cultivation of Prestige cabbage is possible in open and closed ground. The variety has the ability to adapt to the climatic conditions of different regions. For normal and rapid development of plants, it is advised to use the seedling method of growing.
Planting seeds
Seeds are sown for seedlings from mid-March to the 3rd decade of April. The ripening time of seedlings is 40-45 days, the transplant is carried out in May. 115–125 days after planting on the garden bed - in September - the first harvest begins.
Temperature
Optimum performance for normal seedling formation is 15-18 ° C. The night temperature should be 12 ° C, the daytime 15-17 ° C. If the plants become thin and elongated during growing, the thermometer should be 6-7 ° C throughout the week.
Before planting in open ground, the seedlings are hardened. In the first few days, they are provided with fresh air. During the next period, they are taken out into the street or balcony for 2-4 hours, gradually increasing the time.
Watering
Seedlings require systematic and moderate watering.Humidity must be controlled: to prevent drying out and waterlogging of the soil. Frequent loosening of the soil is recommended.
For adult vegetable crops, abundant irrigation is needed. The frequency depends on soil conditions and climatic conditions. Usually watering is carried out every 3 days, in hot dry periods - every day.
Lighting
Young plants during the ripening period of seedlings need regular 10-12 hours of lighting. For this, phytolamps are used. Also, for an even distribution of light, thinning or picking of seedlings is carried out.
The place for transplanting seedlings should be well lit, but direct sunlight negatively affects the development of culture. To protect the hybrids, plant wings are used. These are corn or sunflowers planted every 5-10 rows of cabbage.
Top dressing
The systematic use of fertilizers has a positive effect on yield indicators. Cabbage Prestige F1 especially needs additional fertilizing after planting and during the ripening of the heads of cabbage. For this, organic and mineral fertilizers are used.
4 mandatory feeding:
- 15-20 days after transplanting to the garden, the plants are watered with the following solution: water (10 l), superphosphate (60 g), ash (200 g).
- 10-15 days after the first - water (10 l), nitrophoska (2 tbsp. L).
- 10 days after the second - water (10 l), manure (1 kg), superphosphate (2 g).
- 20 days before harvest - water (10 l), potassium sulfate (40 g).

- scoop;
- mole;
- bear;
- cruciferous flea.
