Pros and cons of Slava cabbage

Since ancient times, the non-black earth part of Russia has played an important role in the development of the country since the beginning of its historical foundation. Therefore, it is not surprising that the bred variety was primarily focused on this part of the vast country, as can be seen from the description of Slava cabbage in various agricultural reference books.

• resistance to cracking;
• good keeping quality;

Secrets of agricultural technology

When growing white cabbage Slava, two methods are applicable: seedling and seedling.But it was the seedling that gained the greatest popularity, since as a result, the forks have time to mature even in the northern regions of the Russian Federation.

But whichever method you choose, the first step is seedbed preparation. It is carried out either by seed producers (this is written on the package), or it is performed independently. First, the seeds are immersed in hot water (50-65 degrees) for a few minutes. Then they are placed in a 10-liter solution of water with potassium humate (10 g) for 12 hours, after which the seeds are dried and hardened at a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius. After a day you can go directly to the landing.

The optimal time for planting in the ground is early-mid April. It is best to focus on daytime temperatures of 13-18 degrees Celsius. The seeds are lowered to a depth of 1.5 cm at a distance of about 7 cm from each other.For better development, the plant needs an area of ​​25 cm. Therefore, seedlings are thinned out as needed.

After the appearance of two true leaves, the first feeding is carried out. A mixture of superphosphate, ammonium nitrate and potassium chloride is prepared at the rate of 6g, 5g and 2g per 1 square meter, respectively. The composition is scattered between the plants, and the bed is watered. After a week, the operation is repeated.

A month later, when the sprout height reaches 15 cm, the cabbage is planted in open ground according to the 60x60 cm scheme. The bed is preliminarily watered abundantly with water. Cabbage Slava loves abundant watering (she needs up to 15 liters per 1 square meter). Watering is stopped a month before the planned collection of forks. Loosening and hilling are performed as needed. To prevent the earth from hardening, you can loosen it after each watering. In this case, weeds and the resulting crust are removed.

The second stage of feeding is carried out during the formation of heads of cabbage. The same composition is used as in the early stage, but with the addition of wood ash in an amount of 50 g per 10 liters of water. The procedure is repeated after 3 weeks.

Landing

Seedlings are sown one and a half months before transferring to the site. The seeds are hardened by soaking for 20-30 minutes in water at a temperature of +50, and then put in cold water for 3 minutes. Then it is etched in a 1% solution of potassium permanganate, washed and dried.

A nutrient substrate is prepared from garden soil mixed with peat, sand and wood ash are added. For disinfection, spill with a fungicide solution or ignite at +110 degrees. Sowing depth - up to a centimeter.

Before germination, slightly moistened crops are kept warm, then the temperature is lowered to +14 degrees. They dive when 1-2 leaves develop.
