Planting conditions of cauliflower

Cauliflower is a vegetable of the cruciferous family. It turned out to be a very popular vegetable in the Mediterranean region. It's a nutritious, high-vitamin vegetable. Now it has been widely planted in China. Can be planted in the north and south, in fact, what are the specific planting conditions, to provide adequate planting conditions, but also to grow well. So let's find out now.

1. Temperature

It is easy to be frozen below zero, so it is very difficult for open field cultivation to survive the winter. And above 25 degrees, it is difficult to form a bouquet, the growth of the temperature requirements are very strict. It is neither cold nor heat resistant. The best time for stem and leaf growth and heading is between 20 and 25 degrees. However, when the flower ball is formed, it still has to go through the stage of flat and low temperature vernalization. Otherwise, it's not good to ball. About 8 degrees can sprout well.

2. Soil

For the soil requirements are not strict, it is better to be fertile sandy loam, some deep soil, because the root growth ability is relatively strong, consolidated soil, root growth is poor. The best acidity and basicity is about 5.5. Can handle some soil that accumulates a little more salt, but it is best not to plant it in saline soil. Soil with a salt content of 0.5% can still grow, which is a rare ability to adapt.

3. Moisture

Strict moisture requirements, must be dry and wet, can not be stagnant water, can not be flooded, can not be washed by water. But also not resistant to drought, drought is not good, the soil must maintain a certain amount of moisture, not too dry. Can not be hardened, moisture is not easy to penetrate. It is necessary to maintain the aggregate structure and good soil seepage structure. It's best to keep 65% moisture.

4. Lighting

The requirements for lighting are not strict, but it is not that you do not need light, or receive too much light. It's just that the sun can be planted in the area where it can be grown. In fact, sufficient light is needed to make the bouquet tight, the color better, the leaves dark green and the photosynthesis good. But the light is insufficient, the bouquet is small and the color is dim.

The temperature and moisture required for cauliflower cultivation are relatively strict, but the soil and light requirements are not very strict, in short, the conditions can be provided according to the situation.
