When is the best time to harvest cabbage?
Summer cabbage is a suitable environment for cabbage growth, whether in sowing or harvesting period. The main purpose of planting summer cabbage is to meet the market demand. It is usually planted in May-June and harvested in July-August.
Autumn cabbage has a short growth period and fast fruit bearing, but the harvest time is relatively strict. If the harvested cabbage needs to be stored in winter, it can be harvested before and after the light snow solar term, and the environment is better during the middle of 165438+ 10.
Harvesting at this time will prolong the growth period of Chinese cabbage, and harvesting at the end of June165438+1October can prevent freezing injury of Chinese cabbage, which is more suitable. But when harvesting, ensure that the temperature is above MINUS three degrees to avoid freezing injury.
Matters needing attention in cabbage harvest
In order to make cabbage have high profits, if the market is hot in late autumn, you can harvest it when the leaves of cabbage are not fully compacted. For mid-late maturing Chinese cabbage varieties, the longer the growth period, the more mature the bulbs and the higher the yield, so we'd better postpone the harvest time.
However, it should be noted that Chinese cabbage can only withstand mild frost, and if it encounters sub-zero temperature, it is easy to cause freezing damage.
