Propagation and planting
Varieties
September, Pusa Drum Head, Golden Acre, Kaveri, Ganga, Sri Ganesh and Pride of India.
Planting
The ideal time for planting cabbage is from August-November. Recommended seed rate is 500-750 g/ha. Seeds are sown in nursery beds and three to five weeks old (with 5-6 leaves) healthy seedlings transplanted to the main field. Prepare the field by three or four ploughing and the seedlings are transplanted on ridges at a spacing of 45 x 45 cm preferably in the morning or late evening. Before transplanting, the roots of the seedlings are dipped in a solution of bavistin @ 2g/litre. Clipping two third of the leaves helps to reduce evapo-transpiration losses.
