Fertilizer Program
This is a broad outline for the fertilization of cabbages. Recommendations will vary depending on specific soil samples.
PRE-PLANT
Get acid sat % to 1%. Apply lime and gypsum if necessary. Cabbages do not grow well on acid soils
If CLUB ROOT is suspected, lime heavily > 3 tonnes/ha Broadcast KCL, MAP or 6.28.23 to correct K or P deficiencies
PLANT
Use NPK 6.28.23 at 750-1000kg/ha depending on soil analysis

KYNPOP IS SPRAYED OVER SEEDLINGS PLUGS BEFORE TRANSPLATING IN MIN OF 10% SOLUTION
- Cabbage need all their N applied by week 6 at the latest.
- A later top dress at week 8 can be considered to apply extra K.
- Cabbage requires a high amount of S ( +- 30 -45 kg/ha).
- Cabbage is very responsive to fresh fert even if soil fertility is good; they like lots of freshly applied fert .
- Get BIG heads and helps improve the pick out %.
- Cabbages love S and will always respond to an application of fresh fer, regardless of soil nutrient status.
- An application of SOP at week 8 is also acceptable practice
