Broccoli planting time and method cultivation technology and management

Broccoli Planting Time

The planting time of broccoli is generally concentrated in spring and summer. As the current planting technology is becoming more and more mature, some farmers have begun to use greenhouses to grow broccoli. This can well control the planting temperature and humidity, which is conducive to its normal growth, and broccoli can be harvested all year round.

Broccoli planting methods and key points

1. Soil

When planting broccoli, the requirements for soil are not very high. It relatively prefers sandy soil. Generally, before planting broccoli, the soil should be fertilized in advance, and the soil should be kept in a semi-wet and semi-dry state to enhance the soil's air permeability and promote better growth of broccoli.

2. Light temperature

Broccoli needs sufficient light during its growth process. Direct sunlight on the broccoli can make its flower head more compact. At the same time, be careful not to let the temperature be too high. It is best to control the temperature at around 25°C to avoid sunburning the broccoli.

3. Fertilizer and water management

Since broccoli grows very fast, you can apply a lot of fertilizer and water, generally 3-4 times a day. Top dressing should be applied once a week after the seedlings emerge, and again after the broccoli grows into flower balls. Based on the growth conditions of the two times, you can apply a small amount of fertilizer.

Things to note when growing broccoli

1. Soft rot

During the broccoli planting process, it is necessary to avoid rainwater accumulation, as this will allow bacteria to enter through wounds in the roots, leaves and other parts of the broccoli, causing the broccoli to gradually rot. Pay attention to drainage during the rainy season.

2. Cabbage worm

During the planting process of broccoli, you must pay attention to cabbage loopers and observe carefully. It is recommended to spray insecticide No. 6 with water on the broccoli after discovery.
