When is the best time to plant broccoli?

Suitable planting time for broccoli

The planting time of broccoli depends on the altitude of the area. In high mountainous areas with higher altitudes, it is usually sown in February or March, and can be planted after one month, and can generally be harvested in May or June. In areas with lower altitudes, spring or autumn planting can be chosen, with sowing in January to March in spring and in June to July in autumn.

Methods and key points of growing broccoli

1. Variety selection

   Before choosing to grow broccoli, consider what variety to plant, because different varieties of broccoli have different harvest times. For example, late-maturing varieties can be harvested about 90-100 days after planting, while mid-maturing varieties can be harvested 60-70 days after planting.

2. Seedling cultivation method

   It is more appropriate to choose the plug tray seedling method for seedling cultivation. After sowing, remember to use a shade net to protect the broccoli seedlings. Before emergence, take measures to block the sunlight all day on sunny days. At the same time, spray clean water once every morning. If water shortage is found, spray it in time.

Key points for broccoli management

When the temperature is too high, you can increase the frequency of watering, but be careful not to over-water, which will cause too much water to accumulate at the roots, otherwise the broccoli seedlings will wither. Top dressing is also very important, especially after the bulbs appear. You can apply 20kg of triple compound fertilizer and 15kg of urea per acre.
