Instruction
1. For cultivation of salad it is necessary to select the getting warm sandy loams with the high content of humus and good structure. Optimum predecessors are potatoes, cabbage, leek, grain and celery. The iceberg badly reacts to excessively sour soils, the optimum level of acidity has to be 6-7 units. The plant prefers to grow at temperature not higher than 30 wasps of day. If night time temperature exceeds 18 wasps, then formation of head of cabbage is at a loss.
2. For crops use pellety seeds, they are quite convenient in use and differ in high ability to germination. Sow seeds in peat pots. Temperature for cultivation of seedling has to be 16-18os, not above. Two-three days later cultivation has to be made at temperature 15-25os.
3. At early landing of salad it is very important to temper plants. Place seedling in peat pots on the site for adaptation, begin to land in three days. Introduce before it to the soil fertilizer in the form of nitrogen (8 grams of nitrogen on 1 square meter). The way has to be paved as appropriate. The iceberg lands according to scheme 40×40 or 30×40 of centimeters. Do not take seedling from peat pot, it is enough to make hole and to deepen it.
4. Early the landed salad needs to be covered with perforated film or agrofibre. In few weeks remove film. Exercise temperature monitoring under ukryvny material if it exceeds 25 wasps, it is necessary to remove film. You make removal of ukryvny material in windless and cloudy weather, so you will be able to protect plants from solar burn.
5. You have already brought the first dose of nitrogen fertilizer in the soil before landing, the second fertilizing should be made by the time of formation of head of cabbage. In three weeks after landing carry out scarification for removal of soil crust, good receipt to air roots. Provide salad with timely and uniform water supply. When the head of cabbage begins to be formed, waterings can be reduced not to provoke decay emergence. During the scorching heat it is recommended to make watering after sunset in the evening.
