Planting seedlings and caring for white cabbage

At first glance, growing cabbage is quite an easy task. I grew or bought seedlings, planted them in the garden - and let them grow. But to get a good harvest, you need to pay a little attention.

Before preparing the soil for planting seedlings, it is recommended to treat it with a combination of fungicides Sporomax T + Sporomax B at 30 g / 10 l of water / 1 acre. After spraying the soil, it must be earned (digging, cultivation, disking, etc.). This will make it possible to practically get rid of such diseases as "black leg" and cabbage hernia. If there is a threat of soil pests (mole cricket, beetle larvae, wireworm), the soil insecticide Metariz 10-20 g / 10 l of water / 1 acre should be added to these products.

For watering, when planting seedlings, it is recommended to add Floriz™ and Sporomax™ T preparations to the water at 10g / 10l of water, at the rate of 0.5l of solution per well. If Metariz™ soil insecticide has not been used before, it is recommended to add it here.

Next, you should pay attention to the appearance of fleas that damage the leaves. When they appear, treat with the insecticide Imexab™ 10 g / 8-10 l of water + Izomax™ 2 ml / 10 l of water.

For better growth and tying of cabbage heads, after the seedlings have taken root, it is necessary to treat the plants with Aminorost™ 20-25ml / 10l of water + Sporomax™ B 10g / 10l of water.

When whiteflies appear, the drugs are used according to the following scheme:

Imexab™ 10-20 g / 8-10 l of water + Izomax™ 2 ml / 10 l of water - with the mass appearance of whiteflies. The next treatment is carried out after 4-5 days with the same drugs.

If the whitefly was not fought immediately, then it is necessary to carry out a third treatment 4-5 days after the second with the same drugs.

With this, we completely destroy the eggs and larvae of the whitefly, as well as partially the butterfly itself. When the drug falls on a butterfly, it also dies, but a new one flies in quickly, and therefore it seems that the effectiveness is low.

The next treatment against whiteflies is carried out according to its mass appearance, but usually 14-20 days after the last treatment.

When caterpillars of cabbage whitefly or other gnawing pests appear, it is necessary to use the preparations Bacitoxin and Bover IM at 10 g / 10 l of water with the addition of the adjuvant Izomax™ 2 ml / 10 l of water.

Simultaneously with insecticides, it is necessary to spray with fungicides against rot and other diseases of cabbage. For this purpose, biofungicides Sporomax™ B + Sporomax™ T are used at 10g/10l of water, which are safe for humans. Treatment with fungicides is carried out 3-4 times per season. The last treatment with Sporomax™ B 10 g/10 l of water + Izomax™ 2 ml/10 l of water should be carried out 2-5 days before harvesting the heads of cabbage and storing them. This will significantly reduce the rotting of cabbage in the initial stages of storage, especially in ordinary cellars, and not in specialized storage.
