Broccoli yields best on deeply loosened, thoroughly cultivated and water-rich soils. This vegetable should be grown in the best soils that are well-cultivated, rich in humus and nutrients, permeable, sufficiently moist, but aerated. The most suitable soils are chernozems, black soils, bogs, loess and peat soils and loamy-sandy soils. The optimal soil pH values for broccoli are 6.2-7.0. The fertilizer doses calculated based on chemical analysis of the soil should be reduced by the number of components introduced with manure or green fertilizers. If soil analysis has not been performed, then the number of mineral fertilizers per hectare with the full dose of manure should be 50-100 kg N, 60-70 kg P₂O₅, 180-200 kg K₂O. If the plantation is irrigated, the fertilizer doses can be increased by up to 50%, especially nitrogen (leaching). Broccoli is particularly sensitive to deficiencies of boron, molybdenum and sulfur.
