Peculiarities
Cabbage grows on almost all soils, loves moisture and light, and is relatively cold-resistant. Cabbage is grown in seedling and seedless method. In both cases, it’s recommended to treat the planting material with Sato® Seeds formulation.
All types of cabbage respond to minerals, consume a lot of nitrogen and potassium and noticeably less phosphorus. SatoGrow® NPK range of complex organo-mineral granulates provides balanced nutrition with a gradual release of nitrogen, promotes even vegetative mass gain and head maturation.
From the beginning of head formation and up to full ripening, cabbage needs potassium, as well as secondary nutrients – calcium, boron, molybdenum and magnesium. The amount of sugars and nutritional value of cabbage directly depends on the availability of these substances. Timely correction of micronutrient deficiencies affects the yield and shelf life of finished products.
Profile preparations SatoHum® K, SatoHum® K-B-Mo и SatoHum® Ca not only correct the deficiency of missing nutrients, but also have a healing effect thanks to high content of humic and fulvic acids, increase plant protection against insect pests, fungi, overheating, excessive humidity and other unfavorable factors, which is especially important at high planting density.
Signs of nutrient deficiency in cabbage
- yellowed sluggish leaves - lack of nitrogen;
- excessive leaf growth, brittle old outer leaves - excess nitrogen;
- blanching of leaves, brown edging - lack of potassium;
- dull fragile dark green leaves - phosphorus deficiency.

Recommended products for cabbage
WARNING: 4 Sato® Steps is a comprehensive crop care system. There are basic crop needs for the main 12 macro, meso and micronutrients, so for an optimal growing cycle and unlocking the potential of each crop, a balanced diet and timely fertilization are necessary.
SOILS: When pre-sowing SatoSoil® soil improvers, the minimum rate indicated in the table is applied. When autumn incorporation, the maximum rate indicated in the table is used. When applying SatoGrow® biostimulants after SatoSoil® soil improvers, the minimum rate is applied. If the soil has not been dressed, root incorporation of the maximum rate is allowed.
SEEDS/SEEDLINGS/VEGETATION BEGINNING: Treatment of seeds and seedlings with Sato® Seeds compound is compatible with treatment by classical protectants without reducing the rates of their application, and helps to increase the viability of seedlings, the development of the plant and its fruitfulness.
GROWTH: Our SatoHum® solutions have a guaranteed composition with high content of humic and fulvic acids with amino acids of plant origin, so their application rates are significantly lower than those on the market. It is not recommended to exceed the total dose of SatoHum® liquid formulations over 6 l/ha/season.
HARVEST: Simultaneous fertilization with several SatoHum® products is not expected. It is not recommended to exceed the specified application rates. For single, not systemic application of SatoHum® products, the maximum dosage of the product is recommended.
