Protecting with row covers can extend the harvest period.ĪVG.
Late summer sown or planted collards can be wintered in cold frames or hoophouses, or in the open in mild regions, to extend the season. Kale is very hardy, and the eating quality will improve into the late autumn with light frost. Beginning about 2 months after planting, harvest by clipping individual leaves. We are glad to help with specific questions.ĭAYS TO MATURITY: From direct seeding subtract about 14 days if transplanting. However, no method of seed treatment can positively ensure freedom from disease. It does not guarantee a seed lot to be disease-free. NOTE: A disease-free test result means that in the sample tested, the pathogen targeted was not found.
#RED RUSSIAN KALE SEEDLINGS FREE#
Individual seed lots have been tested free of black leg in a sample of 1,000 seeds. We only stock seed lots that have been tested free of black rot in a sample of 30,000 seeds. Black rot and black leg can be seed-borne. Control cabbage worms and loopers with Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt.). Apply row covers at the time of planting to exclude pests from the crop. PESTS AND DISEASE: Kale is not as afflicted with pests as are other brassica crops, like cabbage. Transplants can be set out from April to August in these regions. WINTER CROP: Successful kale crops can be grown where winters are mild (temperatures rarely below 0C). To ensure mature heads, seed the crop early in areas where heavy freezes occur early in autumn. INTENSIVE HARVESTING: For optimum time efficiency use a Quick Cut Greens Harvesteron baby leaf, always ensure a sharp blade is used.ĪUTUMN CROP: Start seedlings as above in November and transplant to the garden in December-Jan.
6-row seeder (C-M-T) Hole Size C, Middle pulleys,Tight brush setting | Jang JP-1 use F24 seed roller.
INTENSIVE SPACING: 12 rows, 6cm apart spaced every 4cm on the row. Kale prefers cooler growing temperatures, between 13-24C, optimum being 16-21C, but will produce good crops under warmer, summer conditions. Prick out every second plant and every second cell, leaving a 30cm spacing, do three rows at 30 cm row spacing. Transplant outdoors 30-45cm apart in rows 45cm apart.Įarly and later Paperpot Transplants Use the 15cm chainpots and seed 2 plants to a cell. If possible keep soil temperature over 24C until germination, then reduce air temperature to about 16C. Seedlings should be ready to transplant in 4-6 weeks. in 20 row flats, or in outdoor beds 6mm deep. Direct Seed: Plant from early spring to approximately 3 months before expected autumn frost.ĮARLY SPRING CROP: Use varieties suited to warm season production.Įarly Transplants, Sow 2 seeds per cell in 50- to 72-cell plug flats, 3-4 seeds/2.5cm. Consistent moisture will produce the best quality leaves.
