Document Summary
Those with small heads: 900-1500m above sea level. Those with large heads: 1800-2700m above sea level. Should be well distributed throughout the growing period. The beds should be raised, dimension 1 m wide and any convenient length (usually 2-3m in length). Sow seeds by drilling and cover to a depth of 1 cm. Apply phosphatic fertilizers and mix thoroughly with soil during planting. Cultivation should be done during the dry season so that all the weeds are killed. Dig holes at the spacing of 60cm x 60cm. Incorporate farm yard manure in the soil. Seedlings are ready for transplanting after one month that is when they are 1o-15cm in height. Transplant the seedlings with balls of soil to prevent root damage. Plant to the same depth as they were in the nursery. Apply fertilizers during planting and top dress later. Damage: eats the underside of the leaf making windows or holes in the leaf.
