* Turnip is tasty and healthy in stewed or baked form, it is used as a filling in pies, and in raw, chopped form is added to salads.
Turnip grows best on loamy and sandy loamy fertile soils. As predecessors are recommended: cucumber, tomatoes, legumes. Bad predecessors are cruciferous plants.
A plot for turnips has been prepared since autumn. For deep digging, compost (3-4 kg / m2), superphosphate (30 g / m2), potassium sulfate (15-20 g / m2) are added; ammonium nitrate (8-10 g/m2) is added in spring. Manure is undesirable.
Seeds are sown at the end of April (a month before sowing, the soil is covered with a film) in rows with row spacing of 15-20 cm to a depth of 1.5-2 cm.
After germination, the plants are thinned to a distance of 10-15 cm. For winter storage, seeds are sown in mid-July.
Care consists in loosening the soil, weeding, watering, thinning, pest and disease control.
