Gardeners may find out too late that the cabbage is rotten right in the center of the head.
However, if you know the reasons for this unpleasant phenomenon, you can prevent the problem from occurring next year.
As a rule, rot in the center of the head of cabbage appears due to several reasons, explains the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
What do they consist of?
Shadow
Some people risk planting cabbage in shaded areas, although the crop does not like it. Due to the lack of sunlight, cabbage does not develop well and can start rotting right in the core.
Excess water
Cabbage, of course, needs and is important to water, but it must be done correctly. Too much water leads to the vegetable starting to rot.
Therefore, it is worthwhile to regularly carry out the loosening procedure. It is also important to remember that rainy weather can also lead to similar results. Therefore, the crop should be covered during rains.
Air
Too dense plantings prevent air from being distributed correctly. Due to the lack of such an important component, the cabbage may begin to rot in the middle.
