How to increase vegetable brassica yield
Agronomically, the key to top performing crops is balanced plant nutrition. High brassica yields are obtained on fertile soils where water and nutrients are not limiting.
How nutrient management can affect vegetable brassicas
Vegetable brassica earliness
It is important to produce a complete crop canopy as soon as possible after planting and then to maintain productive leaf areas for a long period, in order to maximize growth. Any early loss in brassica growth and yield potential cannot be redressed.
Influencing vegetable brassica quality
Good nutrition is an essential pre-requisite for a high quality brassica crop. By getting crop nutrition right, the grower brings forward harvest and consistently improves head, curd and leaf quality. This can have a significant, positive effect on...
Improving storage quality/shelf life of vegetable brassica
Controlled atmosphere storage is increasingly practiced to maintain quality in store over longer periods and extend the marketing period.
Improving vegetable brassica taste
Good nutrition is an essential pre-requisite for improved brassica sugar content, resulting in sweeter and tastier crops.
