Turnip is a soon ripening vegetable that is packed with vitamins. The best varieties of turnips have a sweet and delicate taste, are not whimsical, and are good for health. The average ripening period is 85 days. Grown in many countries. At a temperature of 18-20 degrees.

For sowing turnips, moist soils are chosen. For a good harvest, it is necessary to sow in early spring, or at the beginning of July. But there are types of seeds that can be successfully sown in winter.

Turnip fruits are early ripening, in the spring it must be planted earlier so that the cruciferous flea does not destroy the fruit. To store fruits in winter, you need to sow in the first half of July, 5-10 numbers. It is not recommended to choose the soil on which cabbage and cruciferous family were previously grown. Good soil will be after potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions. You don't have to try to grow large fruits. The small fruit is tasty and has many useful vitamins.

Sowing turnips in winter

The land is prepared in the fall. Dig up the soil with a tree hall and fertilizers. The ground above the soil needs to be slightly raised, watered. The garden bed is prepared for sowing before the outside temperature drops below zero. Small grooves are dug, 5 centimeters deep, with a distance of 40 centimeters. When the night temperature drops below zero, you can start sowing winter turnip fruits. We fill the grooves with seeds. In winter sowing, seeds may germinate ahead of time, because of the early thaw, the growing crop will freeze. Advantages of sowing in winter, with an unsuccessful harvest, turnips can be sown again in spring.

In early spring, the bed is covered with a film that needs to be strengthened.

Soon the harvest will rise. Watering and weeding is required. If holes appear on the leaves of the fruit, then cruciferous fleas are eating it. You can treat plants from insects with special solutions. For the safety of turnips from diseases and pests, you must adhere to the following rules. Prepare seeds before sowing. Pull up the weeds. Dig up the ground before sowing the crop. If the turnip is damaged by the fungus, the infected fruit must be removed immediately, otherwise it will infect healthy turnip fruits.

Sowing turnip seeds in early spring

A favorable time for sowing is considered the end of April, beginning of May. The resulting crop cannot be stored in winter. It is believed that the fruits will ripen better if the summer is not hot. Before planting, the seeds are soaked in warm water, then dried, mixed with a small amount of sand.The grooves are made of small depth and size. Seeds are poured, watered, and covered with foil.

Good watering, loosening the soil, removing weeds are the key to a successful harvest. With poor watering, the fruits will grow poorly, the taste will be bitter. Harvested in 6-12 weeks, depending on the selected turnip variety. You can collect fruits that have reached a diameter of more than 5 centimeters. Remove a ripe root crop from the ground with your hands. The tops are cut, dried well, stored in hay for some time, then stored in the cellar. They are placed in boxes with sand so that the fruits do not come into contact with each other. Stored for 2 months.

A turnip, which we learn about in childhood from Russian folk tales, must be able to grow. She does not always please the summer resident with her huge size and mouth-watering appearance. A useful root crop for an unlucky summer resident often goes all into the tops or, due to wormholes, has an unsightly appearance. Therefore, the question of when to plant seeds in open ground is quite relevant.

Subject to the conditions of care and agricultural technology, cultivation is available in the garden in many regions of Russia.

The correct timing for planting turnips outdoors

Short growing season 60 - 80 days lets get over the summer two crops... The first sowing is carried out in the Moscow region in mid-spring - April, early May. In the Urals and Siberia, the terms are practically the same, there turnips are planted in early May, in early spring - in the last days of April.

Planted in the spring root crops do not store for a long time, they are used for summer consumption or are used in the preparation of winter preparations. Commercial root crops are harvested in late June and early July.

Seeds hatch at zero temperature. Young shoots can withstand a night temperature drop of up to -6 degrees. For seed germination, the optimum temperature is 15 degrees.

Second sowing - summer, yields a crop suitable for long-term winter storage. In the central lane, the sowing deadline July (first decade), in the northern regions (Siberia, Urals), summer sowing should be carried out mid to late June.

When sown at a later date, the root crop may not form even when using early maturing varieties. You can calculate the period more precisely: subtract the ripening time indicated on the pack from the date of the expected end of the season.

The best varieties for planting in the Moscow region and the Middle Lane

In the Moscow region, any variety planted at the right time will give a good harvest. Thanks to the frequent rains, the turnip grows excellent at the dachas near Moscow. For winter consumption, you can recommend an old, proven variety - "Petrovskaya-1".

Seed preparation

It is possible to improve the germination of seed material, to rid it of possible infections in various ways:

1. Bubbling during the day.
2. Use biostimulant solution for soaking.
3. Prepare an infusion of ash (a tablespoon per liter), leave for a day, keep the seeds in a ready-made solution for 6 hours.
4. Seeds hold for 2 hours in garlic water... Garlic water protects against bacteriosis. You need to take a tablespoon of grated garlic, pour lukewarm water (½ cup).

After any treatment, dry the seeds and only then sow.

Turnip seeds - very small

The seeds are small and dark in color. Sowing is difficult: it is difficult to normalize the number of seeds per unit area, it is difficult to see where it is sown and where it is not. The seeds can be mixed with river sand or sprinkled with potato starch.

Preparing the beds for planting in the garden

The ridge can be equipped in areas where they grew tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, corn, beans... It is impossible to plant after radish and cabbage. You can dig up the ridge in the fall by adding a standard set of fertilizers (superphosphate, potassium nitrate, humus) for digging, or in the spring, adding additional urea.

If there is wood ash, it should definitely be added to the soil during the preparation of the ridge. 1 glass is enough per square meter. Turnip responds well to ash. Digging depth of at least 20 cm.

Fresh manure is not added under the turnip. Manure reduces the quality of root crops.

The technology of sowing turnip seeds into the ground

To grow turnips, you do not need to grow seedlings at home in advance.

I row the day before sowing seeds well watered, spending on each square. m for 2 buckets of water. Rows are marked on the ridge, observing an interval of 30 cm between them.

Planting depth on light soils 2 cm, on heavy, clayey soils - 1 cm... Sprinkle the seeds in the grooves with sifted compost or humus. Seed rate per square meter 1 g.

Turnip seeds are planted in well-spilled soil

Post-plant care conditions

Already on the 7th day, the first green shoots will appear, on the 5th day, if the daytime air temperature is above 15 degrees. The emerging seedlings require watering. You should not expect high-quality root crops if you neglect watering. With a lack of moisture, the roots will be small, not juicy, with tough pulp. Irrigation rate 20 l / m².

Usually turnip sprouts often, after 2 - 3 weeks the shoots are worth thin out... After the first procedure, a distance of 3 cm is left between the two plants. A little later, planting will have to be pulled again. With spring sowing, 6 cm is left between two shoots, with summer sowing - 10 cm.

On average, up to 50 root crops should be placed on each square meter.

The main pest of young turnip - cruciferous flea... The pest is dangerous in the first month after the emergence of shoots. When pests appear, treat the ridge with Iskra.

Turnip defeat by cruciferous flea

The second most dangerous pest of young turnip - cabbage fly... She is scared away from young plantings with tobacco dust, makhorka, hot pepper, ash. Dusting the ridge is carried out the next day after watering.

Turnips are especially good in winter. Cabbage soup with sauerkraut and turnips is a primordially Russian dish that will satisfy even a gourmet. It is not difficult to grow useful root crops for the winter, the main thing is to water them on time.

Growing turnip mothers

Turnip seeds are sown on sandy, well-fertilized soils, but manure cannot be applied.

At the beginning of July, the seeds are sown in rows with row spacing of 15-20 cm to a depth of 1.5-2 cm (the seeds are very small, and it is recommended to mix them with sand).

The mother liquors are harvested before the onset of frost. The leaves are cut, leaving tails no more than 1 cm long. Store in sand at a temperature of about 0 ° C.

In early spring, mother plants are planted. When caring for turnip seed plants during cultivation in an open area, it is better to tie the flower stalks to a support. Yellow pods are harvested selectively. They are dried and threshed.

Turnip - cross-pollinated plant. Therefore, mother liquors are grown with spatial isolation up to 700 m.

Turnip seeds can be purchased at specialized stores.

How to grow turnips outdoors

Turnip - early ripening cold-resistant plant. Seeds begin to germinate at 2-5 ° C. Seedlings can withstand frosts up to -2-3 ° C. The optimum temperature for plant growth and root crop formation is 15-18 ° C. Lowering the air temperature to 0-5 ° C during the formation of root crops leads to stalking.

The culture is quite demanding on moisture. In dry conditions, small roots with coarse bitter flesh are formed. It grows on any soil, but it succeeds better on light fertile loams or sandy loams with a neutral or slightly acidic reaction.

It tolerates acidic soils, but it is more affected by the keel, in addition, root crops are worse stored.

Predecessors are recommended cucumber, tomatoes, legumes. Bad predecessors are plants of the cruciferous family - cabbage, radish, daikon.

The soil for planting turnips in open ground begins to be prepared in the fall.For digging, compost or humus 4-6 kg, 15 g of ammonium nitrate and superphosphate, 20 g of potassium salt per 1 sq. m. Turnip reacts well to potash fertilizers. When caring for turnips after planting, it is recommended to bring ash under the plants (100-150 g per 1 sq. M), which provides the plants with potassium and partly phosphorus.

Turnips are usually sown twice a season: early spring for summer consumption and mid-July for winter storage. Sowing is carried out with row spacing of 20-25 cm. The sowing depth is 1-2 cm.

Turnip sprouts about 5-7 days after sowing. In the phase of 3-4 leaves, the plants are thinned out, leaving a distance of 7-10 cm between them. The crops are loosened, destroying weeds and soil crust, regularly watered at the rate of 10 liters of water per 1 square meter. meter. With proper cultivation of turnips in open ground, seedlings are treated from a cruciferous flea, sprinkling the plants with a mixture of tobacco dust and wood ash in equal proportions.

Crop for winter storage is harvested before the onset of frost. Early ripening varieties are ready for harvesting in 35-40 days, late-ripening varieties in 45-55 days after germination. Store in boxes, sprinkled with sand, at a temperature of 0-1 ° C.
