Types of fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides used when planting cabbage

1. Fertilizers:
- Nitrogen-based fertilizers: such as ammonium nitrate, urea, or ammonium sulfate, to promote leafy growth and overall plant health.
- Phosphorus-based fertilizers: such as superphosphate or bone meal, to promote root development and flowering.
- Potassium-based fertilizers: such as potassium sulfate or potassium chloride, to promote fruit development and overall plant vigor.

2. Pesticides:
- Insecticides: such as neem oil, pyrethrin, or spinosad, to control common cabbage pests like cabbage worms, aphids, and flea beetles.
- Fungicides: such as copper-based fungicides or sulfur-based fungicides, to prevent fungal diseases like powdery mildew or black rot.
- Herbicides: such as glyphosate or 2,4-D, to control weeds that compete with cabbage for nutrients and water.

3. Herbicides:
- Pre-emergent herbicides: such as pendimethalin or trifluralin, to prevent weed seeds from germinating in the soil before planting cabbage.
- Post-emergent herbicides: such as glyphosate or clethodim, to control weeds that have already emerged in the cabbage field.
