There is a persistent opinion among summer residents that cabbage is a capricious crop that requires an approach.
So, if you are interested in how to always get a large harvest of firm heads of cabbage, grab a chair and sit down comfortably – this is exactly what we will tell you about in this article.
It happens that even with proper care, cabbage refuses to form heads. As a rule, this state of affairs is the result of a lack of iodine and boron.
The first thing to do is to apply foliar iodine.
To do this, you will need a 5% pharmaceutical solution, 40 drops of which must be dissolved in a bucket of water.
You will need 1 liter of solution per bush; water the bed with water.
This composition should be applied in the morning, and in the evening of the same day it is necessary to use a solution of boric acid.
Dissolve 10 g of boron in 1 liter of hot water. Before treating the foliage, the resulting concentrate should be diluted: 100 ml of the product per 5 liters of clean water.
