“Cabbage randomly splitting on its own, what’s the reason behind it? ” “Is it eating too much and cause to “stomach” getting bloated?”
Have you ever encountered this issue while growing cabbage?
Generally, there are several possible reasons for cabbage splitting:
If the cabbage head splits and you neglect it without harvesting or taking any action, the following situations may arise:
The split portion is likely to become infected with pathogens, turning black and rotten, leading to conditions such as soft rot disease.
If left unattended, in severe cases, it may result in the spread of pathogens throughout the entire cabbage patch!
We recommend that all vegetable enthusiasts take the following actions when planting cabbage to help reduce the occurrence of this issue:
1. Ensure good soil drainage and avoid waterlogging.
2. During the early stages of planting, it is advised to apply high-nitrogen fertilizer
