How to plant Sakata Shani F1:

Start seeds in a well-prepared nursery bed or seed trays using good quality seed compost. Transplant seedlings to the main field when they are 4 to 5 weeks old and have developed 4 to 5 true leaves. Space plants at 45 to 60 cm apart in rows 60 to 75 cm apart for optimal head development and yield. Apply balanced fertilizer at transplanting and continue feeding throughout the growing season. Water consistently and avoid waterlogging which can cause root rot. Monitor for pests including cabbage worms, aphids and diamondback moth and treat promptly when noticed. Harvest when heads are firm, well-formed and have reached the desired market size.
