Swede

This is the most remarkable root crop from the cabbage family( cruciferous).Brukva is one of the most cold-resistant and high-yielding crops.

Peculiarities of growing

Brückwe requires a slightly alkaline, water-intensive soil, so it grows well on peat bogs, naturally well pre-deoxidized, because on acidic soils the rutabaga is strongly affected by the whale, and the peat bogs are always acidic.

Sowing can be done simultaneously with all cold-resistant crops during the mass flowering of the mother-and-stepmother. The seeds of the trout are large, so they are simply placed in grooves 2 to 3 cm deep at a distance of 5 cm from each other and loosen the soil, then press the board.

Shoots appear quickly, on the 3-5th day. The first thinning should be done about a week after emergence in stage 1 -2 of the present leaves, leaving

the distance between the plants about 15 cm. The second thinning should be done in the stage of 5-6 leaves, leaving a distance of 20-25 cm. It is impossible to tighten with thinning,since without it a good root is not formed. Up to full ripeness the root crop needs to grow for about 100 days. Therefore, part of the rye is sown very early, and for storage - additionally in May. You can grow a trouser through seedlings. She well tolerates transplantation at the age of about 30-40 days.

The rutabaga is a light-loving and hygrophilous plant. In the shadow of her should not be planted. In the moisture it needs constantly, especially in the first period, when there is an intensive growth of the aboveground part, and the root system is not yet developed enough to supply the plant with water in the required amount. But even with the build-up of root vegetables, the trout should have a sufficient amount of water, especially in dry and hot weather. The lack of moisture will lead to the formation of a rough and tasteless root crop.

Agronorm 33, balance 36: 19: 45, it needs nitrogen and, especially, in phosphorus and potassium. When plants form 5-6 true leaves, make the first top dressing( 3 tablespoons of azofosca spoon per 10 liters of water, consuming 1 liter per plant).Then, during the formation of root crops, a second top dressing is done( 1 table spoon of azofosca + 1 table spoon of double granulated superphosphate + 1 table spoon of potassium that does not contain chlorine, per Yule of water, consuming 1 liter of fertilizing for each plant).

The rutabaga requires micronutrients, especially in boron, where there is a lack of roots in the root crops. Therefore, at the moment of root growth, the trout should be fed with boron( 1/4 parts of boric acid for 10 liters of water to be used for 5 m of planting).It is even better to spray with fertilizer "Uniflor micro".

Clean the shirt in September, before the frost. Cut the tops, leaving a stump in 1 - 2 cm, dried, the soil is shaken off and deposited for storage. You can store a trouser in a cellar along with beets, carrots, potatoes, radishes. But the rutabag is perfectly kept in the room. In addition, it can be dried, but it should not be frozen.
