Doll vegetable is a small pocket cabbage, is a concentrated version of Chinese cabbage, its taste is better than cabbage, nutritional value is higher than cabbage, so it is favored by the majority of consumers. Baby vegetables have short ripening cycle, quick effect and high yield. How to grow them? Next, I would like to introduce the planting technology of baby vegetables.

A brief introduction to baby dishes

1. What does baby vegetable look like?

The shape of baby vegetables is similar to that of Chinese cabbage, but its size is only 1/4 to 1/5 of that of Chinese cabbage. It is a "simulated miniature version" of Chinese cabbage. Its leaves are yellowish in color, flat in surface, narrow in base, delicate in veins, and exquisite in curly patterns.

Second, how to grow baby vegetables?

1. Time

Baby vegetable is a semi-cold-tolerant vegetable plant. It grows poorly above 25 ℃ and grows slowly below 10 ℃. The most suitable growth temperature is 10-25 ℃. If it is cultivated in open field, it can be planted in spring and autumn. If it is planted in greenhouse, it can be planted all the year round.

2. Soil

Baby vegetables because of less aboveground parts, so the root system is smaller than ordinary cabbage, should choose the soil is fertile, convenient drainage and irrigation of sandy loam to clay loam, if it is lack of calcium or soil alkali soil, can increase the application of 15 kilograms of calcium superphosphate.

3. Sowing seeds

Baby vegetables can be seeded directly, can also be raised and transplanted, can be planted in ridges or border. If it is seed direct seeding, one hole can be sowed with 2 seeds or 1 hole with 2 seeds and 1 hole with 1 grain on demand. If it is seedling transplanting, it is better to transplant with soil in the seedling 3-leaf stage, and the plant row spacing is 20 × 30 cm.

4. Fertilizer and water

The growth period of doll vegetables is relatively short, enough base fertilizer should be applied before sowing, farm manure should be applied once when three or four leaves are grown, mixed fertilizer of farm manure and chemical fertilizer should be applied once when six or seven leaves are grown, and urea should be applied before enveloping the heart; keep the soil moist throughout the growing period, but do not accumulate water, and you can replenish water and fertilizer as appropriate.

5. Management

The management of baby vegetables is relatively simple. 2 weeks after sowing, seedlings should be fixed, seedlings should be fixed, weeds should be pulled out, and the soil should be loosened frequently before the heart is wrapped.
