Planting methods and key points of cabbage lettuce

1. Choose the variety

The variety of head lettuce should be selected according to the environment of the breeding site, so that the survival rate can be high and the yield can be large. This head lettuce variety is not easy to head when the temperature is relatively high in summer, so protective measures should be taken to prevent heatstroke and cool down.

2. Sowing and raising seedlings

When planting cabbage lettuce, you usually need to process the seeds first. Soak the seeds in water at room temperature for about 12 hours, then take them out, rinse them with clean water, wrap them with a piece of wet gauze, and place them in a low-temperature environment for two days. When about 80% of the seeds begin to turn white, take them out and sow them. After sowing, the soil is generally covered with about 1 cm.

Points to note in daily management of cabbage lettuce

The main things to prevent in daily management of cabbage lettuce are diseases and pests, such as sclerotinia and soft rot, which are more harmful and are easily infected under warm and humid conditions. Therefore, you can appropriately reduce the planting density, avoid watering too often, keep the soil surface dry, and clean it frequently to effectively prevent them.
