* Turnips grow best on loamy and sandy loam fertile soils. Recommended predecessors are: cucumbers, tomatoes, legumes. Bad predecessors are plants of the cruciferous family.
The plot for turnips is prepared in the autumn. For deep digging, compost (3-4 kg/m2), superphosphate (30 g/m2), and potassium sulfate (15-20 g/m2) are applied; in the spring, ammonium nitrate (8-10 g/m2) is added. It is undesirable to apply fresh manure. Seeds are sown at the end of April (a month before sowing, the soil is covered with a film) in rows with a spacing of 15-20 cm to a depth of 1.5-2 cm. After emergence, the plants are thinned to a distance of 10-15 cm.
For winter storage, seeds are sown in mid-July.
Care consists of loosening the soil, weeding, watering, thinning, and pest and disease control.
Harvesting and storage.
Turnips of summer ripening are harvested selectively. For winter storage, they are harvested all at once before frosts.
Store in boxes, sprinkled with sand, at a temperature of 0+1°C.
