What kind of fertilizer is good for Chinese cabbage base fertilizer (base fertilizer application method)

Effect of base fertilizer on Chinese cabbage

The growth cycle of Chinese cabbage is relatively short, so sufficient base fertilizer needs to be applied to the soil before planting. This can improve the fertility of the soil and provide sufficient nutrients for subsequent growth, which is also helpful for increasing the yield of vegetables.

You don’t need to go to the store to buy the base fertilizer for Chinese cabbage. Ordinary farm manure will do. Wood ash is also a good choice.

How to apply base fertilizer to Chinese cabbage

When planting Chinese cabbage, you can apply enough base fertilizer. Generally, apply decomposed farmyard manure to the soil, cover it with soil and compact it. Start topdressing 3 days after transplanting or 15 days after the seedlings are old, once a week, 3-4 times in the whole period. 1-2 times can use thinner fertilizer water, and then use compound fertilizer to sprinkle or broadcast.

How to apply fertilizer to Chinese cabbage

During the seedling stage of Chinese cabbage, topdressing can be done 1 to 2 times, and it is best to spray 0.5% urea on the leaves. After the Chinese cabbage is planted in autumn and winter, topdressing fertilizer should be applied 5 days later to slow the growth of the seedlings, mostly with diluted manure water. Its growth period is relatively short, so thin fertilizer can be applied several times and heavy fertilizer can be applied once. The varieties used for pickling have a slightly longer growth period, so thin fertilizer can be applied several times and heavy fertilizer can be applied twice.

Fertilizer should be applied 7 days after spring cabbage is planted. The amount of fertilizer applied is slightly lower than that of autumn and winter cabbage. Dilute manure water or quick-acting nitrogen fertilizer can be used. Generally, liquid fertilizer is applied several times and top-dressed once, for a total of 3-5 times. For summer cabbage, fertilizer should be applied to slow seedling growth in advance. In the southern region, topdressing can be done 2-3 days after planting. Use quick-acting nitrogen fertilizer urea for topdressing, in small amounts and multiple times, with less at the beginning and more at the end, for a total of 3-5 times.
