Cabbage of the "WINTER" variety requires special attention during storage, as this vegetable is quite picky under home conditions. To successfully preserve the freshness and quality of the heads, certain rules and recommendations must be observed. Ten days before harvest, it is recommended to treat the plants with a fungicide based on azoxystrobin, which helps protect the cabbage from rot and other diseases. Before storing, the heads should be dusted with chalk, which additionally contributes to their preservation.
For storing large batches of cabbage of the "WINTER" variety, it is optimal to use pits, special storage facilities with active ventilation, refrigerated chambers, or containers. It is important to maintain a temperature regime of around +1°C and relative air humidity at the level of 90%, which ensures long-term preservation of freshness and nutritional properties of the vegetable. It is advisable to avoid lowering the temperature below -2°C for more than one month, as well as sharp temperature fluctuations, which can negatively affect the quality of the cabbage.
When working with cabbage, it is necessary to promptly remove waste after cleaning to prevent the development of rot and other spoilage. Observing these recommendations will allow you to keep the cabbage of the "WINTER" variety at home for as long as possible, preserving its taste qualities and beneficial properties.
