Cracking and rotting cabbage heads always look very depressing.
In addition, such vegetables are often impossible to eat.
Why do heads of cabbage crack? This question was answered by agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
According to the expert, there are three non-obvious reasons, which will be discussed in detail below.
Sudden change in weather
Very often, cabbage heads crack due to temperature fluctuations or changes in weather conditions.
Thus, a sudden change from heat to rain and cold always becomes the most common reason for the occurrence of such a problem.
Rapid growth
Usually overripening causes such damage to the cabbage crop.
For this reason, it is highly recommended not to overfeed the crop with fertilizers. Fertilizers and watering should be applied strictly in doses.
Diseases and parasites
It is also extremely important to ensure that the cabbage is not attacked by pathogenic fungi and insect pests.
Otherwise, cracking cabbage heads cannot be avoided.
