Why cabbage does not tie heads, and how to deal with it.

Cabbage belongs to the category of vegetables that gardeners grow most often. The reason is quite understandable: simple care for vegetables.

But, even if the rules of agricultural technology are observed in full, sometimes cabbages do not tie heads. You need to solve the problem immediately, because you can lose the crop.

There are several reasons for the lack of formation:
Poor seedling quality. If poor planting material was originally purchased or grown, then the harvest should not be expected.

It is not recommended to save on cabbage seeds, since cheap options have poor germination and low yields in the future. It is best to purchase seeds and seedlings in specialized stores, and not from private traders.

An equally important rule is the observance of the timing of sowing seeds. You should be guided by the recommendations indicated by the manufacturer on the packaging.

If the variety is early, then the seedlings should be ready by the end of May or the beginning of June. With late varieties it is better not to rush.

In the formation of heads of cabbage, a very important role is played by the place of landing and compliance with the rules of care. The site should be sunny, protected from drafts and other negative impacts.

The landing distance must be observed. So, it is necessary to follow the recommendations indicated on the packaging with the seed.
Cabbage prefers fertile soil.

If there is not enough useful elements in the soil, then it will not work to form heads of vegetables. Fertilizers in which nitrogen is present are very useful for white cabbage. It is best to focus on natural substances: chicken manure, wood ash.

Cabbage belongs to the category of moisture-loving plants. Abundant watering is required approximately once every 5-7 days. For irrigation, use rainwater or settled water at room temperature.

Two weeks before the expected harvest, watering should be stopped. Otherwise, cracks will appear on the forks, and it will be impossible to store such cabbage.

Subject to all the above rules and recommendations, there will be no problems with the formation of heads on cabbage of any variety and ripening period.

The most important thing is not to deviate from the rules of agricultural technology, and also strictly follow the recommendations of seed manufacturers.
