A Pinch of This Product Will Protect Cabbage from Clubroot: Here's What You Need to Add to the Soil
Experienced gardeners have revealed the secret of effective protection of cabbage and other cruciferous plants from a disease called clubroot.
A fungal disease can affect all crops in a short period of time and leave no harvest.
To minimize the risk of disease, experienced gardeners advise following a number of rules.
The choice of cabbage variety plays a big role. There are varieties that are resistant to the disease, so no additional measures will have to be taken.
Crop rotation is also an important nuance that summer residents ignore. In many cases, it is planting in the same place that leads to clubroot affecting cabbage every now and then.
It is recommended to plant the vegetable after nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants). Cabbage can be returned to its previous place after about 5 years.
To protect cabbage from clubroot, gardeners advise throwing a little ash into the hole or sprinkling the bed with a pinch of wood ash. Charcoal will also work.
