Care

Each plant requires certain rules when growing. In order for the early cabbage to feel great and give a good return, it is necessary to provide it with optimal conditions.

Temperature mode

For cabbage, the air temperature is important

When planting seedlings in a permanent place, you need to pay attention to the temperature of the air and soil. In the first case, it should exceed 17˚С, in the second – 14˚С.

Watering

Tiara F1 does not respond well to lack or excess of water.If it is not enough, the fibrous roots dry out. When there is too much moisture, the roots rot, diseases develop. Therefore, its quantity must be controlled, taking into account weather conditions as well.

Water temperature at least 18 менееС. It is better to moisten the soil in the morning or evening. After planting, plants are watered every 3-4 days for 2 weeks. Often during this period the earth still has a lot of moisture. Therefore, you can cancel the hydration. After this time, water is applied 1 time per week. Early cabbage especially needs abundant watering in June, when heads of cabbage are tied. 2-3 weeks before harvesting, moistening is stopped.

Loosening and hilling

Loosen the soil after each watering or rain. Then a dry crust will not form. Plants can get enough oxygen to strengthen their root system. For this purpose use a hoe. When this action is performed, weeds are also removed that suppress the culture and create suitable conditions for the development of pathogenic bacteria.

Weeds can be controlled with mulch. To do this, lay peat in a layer of 5 cm. It will also help retain moisture in the soil.

Additional nutrition will provide hilling. Thanks to the earthen snowdrift, new roots form at the base of the plant. You can spud 2 times per season. The first time the procedure is performed along with the first fertilizer application. The next one is in the phase of 9-10 true leaves.

Feeding

To stimulate growth and increase the green mass, Tiara F1 is fertilized. Nutrients are applied 2 times during the season:

• 10-12 days after planting the plants in a permanent place;
• during the setting of heads of cabbage.

For the first and second time, organic substances can be used as top dressing. A solution of bird droppings is well suited for this. It is prepared in a ratio of 1:10. Mineral fertilizers are also used. After planting, use the following solution:

• 10-15 g of ammonium nitrate;
• 20-25 g of superphosphate;
• 10-15 g of potassium sulfate;
• 10 l of water.

The amount of substances is indicated per 1 sq. km. m. Solutions are used for root dressing. When they fertilize the next time, take the same area:

• 8-20 g of ammonium nitrate;
• 30-40 g of superphosphate;
• 15- 20 g of potassium sulfate;
• 10 l of water.

Many still use complex mineral preparations. The culture is also stimulated by spraying. Such a preparation is prepared for processing:

• 10-12 g of calcium nitrate;
• 5-8 g of ammonium nitrate;
• 10 l of water.

Diseases

The danger for early cabbage is keel, powdery mildew, peronosporosis. To prevent these diseases, it is worth sowing seeds to sow them. To kill fungi in the soil, it is also disinfected.For diseases, fungicides are used according to the attached instructions.

Pests

From invasion of pests, dusting by sifted wood ash or tobacco dust saves. This action helps in the fight against cruciferous fleas, which are especially rampant in dry, hot weather. During rains, slugs can harm plants.

Dry mustard powder or ground black pepper is used against them. These means sprinkle soil on the site. You can collect slugs by hand, and then destroy them. To combat insects, infusions are prepared on tomato leaves, wormwood, dandelion. Some gardeners resort to the help of purchased chemicals.
