Growing kohlrabi is easy: the plant does not require too much attention.
Choose a place for planting that is well lit by the sun.
The shadow will not benefit the crop.
The soil for planting kohlrabi is non-acidic (or slightly acidic).
The seedlings are lowered into the planting hole no deeper than the cotyledon leaves.
Sow the seeds directly into the garden bed - you can do this in April-May, depending on the weather.
Sow seeds for seedlings - germination lasts up to 10 days.
From the first shoots to the planting of young plants in open ground, it takes about 50-55 days.
Regularly remove weeds, loosen the soil, water once every 2-3 days.
Fertilizing is also necessary; it is carried out three times during the growing season of the plant: Kohlrabi is an early ripening plant, so you will be able to harvest twice during the season.
Kohlrabi is an early ripening vegetable - its early varieties ripen 60–70 days after germination, late varieties ripen 80–100.
Experts say kohlrabi prefers cooler weather, so summer kale may be a little woodier than spring- and fall-grown kohlrabi.
The seeds begin to ripen in early August.
The testes are removed selectively, in several stages, starting with the yellowed pods.
The seeds are dried and ripened in a ventilated area. Then they are threshed and the seeds are finally dried.
