During the growing season, cabbage is damaged by many species: cruciferous bugs, rape sawfly, slugs and others. But today we will focus on cabbage phytophages - butterflies: cabbage and turnip whites, cabbage scoop
The biochemical composition of cabbage is variable and the effect of fertilizers on the quality of the crop manifests itself in different ways. Nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers, for example, increase yields, molybdenum increases sugar content, and zinc increases vitamin C
