Introduction
 

This oriental brassica is both fast growing and highly productive if given the right conditions. It requires an open situation with fertile, well-drained, moisture-retentive soil (pH 6.5 or 5.8 on peaty soils). Being fast-growing the soil must be rich in organic matter and high in nitrogen.

It is susceptible to excessive salt concentrations, and never does well in poor, dry soil. Being generally shallow-rooted, water is important so water little and often.
Chinese Cabbage is very temperature-sensitive, especially in relation to bolting, but improved F1 cultivars and crop management should minimise this risk.

 

Temperature
during propagation should be 18oC min., then when planting out in modules at the 2-3
leaf stage, a min. of 7oC is required. The crop can be stored in a cold store at 1oC and 90-95%25 R.H. for 2-3 weeks.
 

Cultural Instructions
