Cabbage fertilization recommendations

Abundant fertilization with nitrogen (N) without an adequate amount of readily available phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) in the soil leads to the formation of poorly compacted and loose heads of cabbage

Cabbage, as a vegetable plant species, has high nutrient requirements considering the large amount of vegetative mass and the yields it achieves. It is characterized by a long period of intensive absorption of nutrients from the soil, and the greatest need for them is in the phase of formation and growth of the head.

Achieving stable and high yields is conditioned by the adequate application of mineral fertilizers, which should be harmonized with the needs of the plants, the conditions and method of production, the results of agrochemical analyses of the soil, but also the planned yields.

Cabbage has a high requirement for sulfur (S) which is important for quality and yield. Excellent sources of this element, including all other nutrients, are formulations from the latest SUPREME line with potassium (K) in sulfate form (SOP).

Elixir Zorka’s production range of mineral fertilizers contains, in addition to the mentioned SUPREME line, other formulations that can be adapted to the requirements of intensive cabbage production.

Which mineral fertilizer do we recommend for the cabbage crop

NPK 6:12:24

The product NPK 6:12:24 + 6% S in terms of its ratio of nutrients represents a well-balanced formulation for achieving high and stable yields of all cultivated plants that have an increased need for potassium (K)

AmoSulfan

AmoSulfan belongs to the category of nitrogen fertilizers. It is extremely suitable for feeding all types of plants. The use of AmoSulfan significantly improves the availability and uptake of phosphorus on alkaline and neutral soils

NutriVeg NPK 10:10:20

NutriVeg NPK 10:10:20 +2% MgO +9% S +0.2% B +0.1% Zn is a complex, solid mineral fertilizer, the application of which provides complete nutrition to cultivated plants with all necessary macro and microelements during the production process cycle

NPK 12:11:18

The product NPK 12:11:18 + 2% MgO + 15% S + 0.01% B + 0.02% Zn + TE is a complex, solid mineral fertilizer of superior quality, which is primarily used for the production of highly profitable fruit and vegetable crops

NPK 12:12:17

The product NPK 12:12:17+ 2% Mg + 14% S + 0.02% B + 0.01% Zn provides balanced nutrition for a large number of plant species. Carefully selected secondary macro and microelements ensure high yields and exceptional product quality

NutriBOOST NP 10:45

NutriBOOST NP 10:45 + 5% S + 1% Zn is a new generation microgranulated fertilizer with a special additive that protects phosphorus (P) from blocking in the soil, preventing its reaction with other elements such as Ca, Al and Fe

Spring fertilization of cabbage implies the use of nitrogen fertilizers, because nitrogen is the carrier of cabbage yield

Proizvodi Elixir Group

Amosulfan 20% N + 24% S

AmoSulfan contains nitrogen in ammoniacal form.

This form of nitrogen binds more easily and is more difficult to wash out from the soil profile, which makes it available to plants for a longer period of time. Sulfur, as the main macroelement, directly affects the increase in the quality of cereal grains, because it participates in protein synthesis.
