It is impossible to get a bountiful harvest of cabbage without proper care of the garden crop.
Thus, a summer resident must not only apply fertilizers on time and in the right amount, but also protect the plant from pests.
You cannot count on the full formation of heads of cabbage, their sufficient density and juiciness if there is a deficiency of nutrients in the soil.
The consequences of the appearance of traditional cabbage pests in the garden - aphids and cabbage whites - will also be unpleasant.
What rules should be followed to obtain a good harvest of garden crops?
Application of certain fertilizers
When growing cabbage, it is advisable to use both mineral and organic fertilizers.
Ammonium nitrate is the best way to increase plant yield.
As for “organics”, the emphasis should be placed primarily on cow manure.
Choosing the right "neighbors"
If you plant certain plants near cabbage, the garden crop will gain protection from pests.
Marigolds and calendula will be excellent “neighbors” for a representative of the Cabbage family.
These flowers will not only decorate your garden plot, but will also repel dangerous insects such as cabbage whites and aphids.
