The cabbage family has up to fifty species, many of which are valued for their nutritional qualities. The most traditional in Europe are white, Savoy, Brussels, cauliflower and red cabbage, kohlrabi and broccoli.

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 SatoHum® K formulation.
All types of cabbage respond to minerals, consume a lot of nitrogen and potassium and noticeably less phosphorus. The line of complex organo-mineral fertilizers Sato® Turbo (liquid formulations with NPK or with micronutrients) gives a balanced nutrition with a gradual release of nitrogen and potassium, contributes to a uniform vegetative mass gain and maturation of the cabbage.
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® Complex, Sato® Turbo K-B, Sato® Turbo K-Mo, or Sato® Turbo K-Mn 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.

WARNING AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS: 4 Sato® Steps is a comprehensive crop care system that provides the basic crop needs for the main 12 macro, meso and micronutrients for an optimal growing cycle and unlocking the potential of each crop.
SOILS: In pre-sowing application of SatoSoil® improvers, the minimum rate is introduced; when autumn applying, the maximum rate is recommended. When applying Sato® Turbo organo-mineral fertilizers after SatoSoil® improvers, the minimum rate is applied; if the soil hasn’t been treated, the maximum rate is applied. For irrigation, it’s recommended to activate granulates (soil improvers) with SatoHum® K liquid formulation or Sato® Turbo NPK liquid organo-mineral product.
SEEDS/SEEDLINGS/VEGETATION BEGINNING: Treatment of seeds and seedlings with SatoHum® K formulation 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. It is not recommended to exceed the total applying dose of SatoHum® liquid formulations over 6 l/ha/season, starting from the germination/seedlings phase. If SatoHum® K is used for prophylactic purposes, it is recommended to apply the minimum dose.
HARVEST: Simultaneous fertilization with several SatoHum® products is not expected, excepting the soil improver’s activation. It’s not recommended to exceed the specified application rates. For single, not systemic application of SatoHum® products, the maximum dosage of the product is recommended.
