In Europe, cabbage is grown on more than 400,000 hectares, so it is an important crop in field vegetables cultivation. Although cabbage crops vary widely in appearance, white and red cabbage, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, kohlrabi, broccoli and kale all belong to the botanical species Brassica oleraceae. Most cultivated are white headed cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli.

Foliage development
Good foliage development is crucial to good yields. Sufficient leaf mass, chloroplasts and efficient photosynthesis are essential for the plant. To optimise this for the plant, we have developed Optima Vigor+. This product contains an easily absorbable form of calcium, manganese and complex trace elements that ensure a vital crop.
In the event of a nutrient deficiency, we have a range of foliar nutrition products that can remedy the deficiency in question. These Optima Leaf fertilisers should be applied at a rate of 1.5 litres/ha every 2 weeks. For the range available, click here.
