Cabbage farming can be rewarding, but only when you get it right from the start. From seedling to harvest, every stage needs proper care, nutrients and protection. At Seedpro Kenya we work with farmers to make sure their crops grow strong and healthy. Here’s how you can grow cabbages successfully using our recommended products
1. Start Right with Siri Planta
Before anything, get your seedlings off to a strong start. Prepare your nursery and mix your soil with a balanced planting blend. This is where Siri Planta comes in. It’s our root activator and growth booster
It strengthens early root development and helps the young seedlings cope with stress
from transplanting, giving them a firm foundation. Use it in your nursery and again during transplanting. You’ll notice faster establishment and stronger plants
2. Build the Leaves with Sure N or High Nitrogen
Cabbage needs a strong leafy structure to form a tight head. After transplanting, switch to vegetative feeding. Apply Sure N or High Nitrogen to boost leaf growth. These products are rich in nitrogen which is key for that lush green canopy every cabbage needs
Start applying 10 to 14 days after transplanting and continue weekly or biweekly depending on the weather and your irrigation routine
3. Balanced Growth with Macro Pro
After 3 to 4 weeks your cabbage is no longer a baby. It’s time to give it a full meal. Macro Pro provides a balanced mix of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium along with important trace elements
This keeps your plant healthy, boosts resistance to disease and supports the transition from leaf growth to heading
4. Heading and Maturity: High Potassium + Magbozinc
When you start seeing head formation, switch to High Potassium. This helps in proper head development, tightens the cabbage and improves weight. Combine it with Magbozinc for calcium, magnesium, boron and zinc which help prevent hollow heads and improve overall quality
Spray every 7 to 10 days until two weeks to harvest
