Climate |
Temperature is more
important than day length. In our region it is grown in milder winter (E
& W parts). Most of Europian cvs. under this condition do not form tight heads
(loose & open heads) - reason for poor yield in India; long cold period
induces 0 0 plant to bolt sooner; optimum temperature or growth & heading
15 - 20 C above 0 25 C growth arrested. |
Nursery |
Nursery Management - Tips to be followed
& monitored : i) Sow the seeds in Pro trays of 98 cavities
by using the sterilised cocopeat as a media, th ii)
At 5 day after sowing mild spray with Uthane M-45 @ 1g/litre of H O + Ulala 2
0.3 g/litre of H O or Saaf @ 1g/litre of H O + Ulala 0.2 g/litre of H O. 2 2
2 th iii) At 15 day after sowing spray with Saaf
@ 1g/litre of H O + Ulala 0.2 g/litre of 2 H O. 2 st iv) At 21 day after sowing spray with Uthane
M-45 @ 1g/litre of H O + Ulala 0.3 2 g/litre of H O or Saaf @ 1g/litre of H O
+ Ulala 0.2 g/litre of H O. 2 2 2 v)
Hardening of seedlings is must before transplanting. Seedling will be ready
for transplanting in 22-24 days after sowing. Transplanting has to be done
preferable in evening hours to avoid sun shock & mortality |
Soil & Land Preparation |
i) pH : 6-6.5; ii) Light soil-early crop; iii) Heavy soil- keeping
quality good; iv) Plants in saline soil
susceptible to diseases. |
Seed Rate |
100-120 g/acre |
Irrigation |
Irrigate as & when required based on the
soil type & the local practices. |
Spacing |

30-40 cm |
Fertilizer Kg/Acre |
NPK- 80:50:60 |
1st Picking |

Avg. per Fruit Weight (g) |
1200 -1500 g |
Major Impediment |
DBM / Black Rot |
Remedies / Control Mmeasures |
Uniron 1.0 ml/l for control of DBM, Ulala
0.5 ml/l for Leaf minor control.
|
Harvesting |
Cut the head once the crop
attain the maturity, good field holding hybrids has an advantage to hold the
harvesting if the market price for cabbage is low / Glut in market. |
Care |
At maturity watering should
be avoided-cause splitting of heads. |
