1. When is the best time to plant Chinese cabbage?

Chicken feather vegetables can be planted all year round. They can be planted in greenhouses from November to February in spring, from April to August in summer, and from August to November in autumn and winter.

2. Methods of planting chicken feather vegetables

1. Seed selection

Chicken feather cabbage is a vegetable that can be grown in all seasons. It is divided into two types: white-stemmed and green-stemmed, and into early-maturing and late-maturing varieties. Choose different varieties according to different seasons.

2. Preparation of planting soil

Chicken feather cabbage is a vegetable rich in nutrients. The first step is to improve the soil; use 500-1000 kg of Tian Gongfu microbial organic fertilizer per mu mixed with 25 kg of Meichuang microbial amino acid enzyme fish protein + 40 kg of Woking sugar residue granular organic compound fertilizer as base fertilizer; the soil can be repaired in one go! This will provide the vegetable with sufficient nutrition, increase its growth rate, and make its quality better.

3. Sowing time

When planting, you should choose varieties according to different seasons. When planting it in summer and autumn, you should choose varieties that can resist high temperatures better. When planting it in winter and spring, you should choose varieties that can withstand cold temperatures. When choosing chicken feather vegetables in summer, you should choose those with better heat resistance, so that you can achieve year-round production.

4. Management of planting

For planting and sowing, choose the sowing amount according to the variety. When sowing, you can mix the seeds with sand and evenly sow them on the surface of the ridge and cover them with a thin layer of soil. In low temperature seasons, you can cover the film after sowing and remove it after the seeds emerge.

Water once a day, and use sugar residue granules organic compound fertilizer for topdressing 1-3 times during the growth period; spray Meichuang microbial amino acid enzyme 300 times + Huangqisu 1500 times 2-3 times at the same time;

After harvesting the replanted stubble, topdressing is only required twice during the entire growing period. Generally, water twice in the morning and evening, and spray Meichuang Microbial Amino Acid Enzyme + Huangqisu once every 5-7 days.

5. Pest and disease control

Summer and autumn are the seasons when pests and diseases are more frequent. We must also observe frequently, do a good job of preventing pests and diseases in advance, and use biological pesticides such as Shan Gong and Quan Hu for prevention and control in a timely manner.

It is relatively easy to manage in winter and spring. After it sprouts, we need to fertilize it three times. This is also the shortest time to harvest chicken feather vegetables, so planting at this stage is relatively worry-free.
