 | | Use transplants for early plantings and maintain ample soil moisture. | | | Apply one side-dress application of nitrogen fertilizer when the plants are 12 inches tall and water to keep the crop growing vigorously during the heat of summer. | | | Brussels sprouts require a long growing period, though newer hybrids have greatly reduced this requirement. |

| | Brussels Sprouts, Commercial Vegetable Production Guides, North Willamette Research and Extension Center |
| | Brussels Sprouts seed number approximately 100,000 per pound, but this crop is most commonly transplanted rather than direct-seeded. | | | To stimulate growth of the sprouts at the top of the plant and to provide uniform development for once-over harvesting, top (pinch-off the growing point) the plants when they are almost full-grown and when the lower sprouts have a diameter of about 0.5-0.75 inches. | | | Brussels sprouts can be kept in good condition for a maximum of 3 to 5 weeks at 32 F. Longer storage may result in black speckling of the leaves, loss of fresh bright green color, decay, wilting, and discoloration of the surface. |

| | The sprouts are "topped" 50-60 days prior to harvesting by machine; the terminal bud is pinched out by hand to prevent the plant from growing taller and to send the plant's energy into the development of the Brussels sprouts. | | | The fields are fumigated prior to transplanting with Vapam or Telone to prevent nematodes from damaging the crop. | | | The sprouts are then transplanted into the fields on 36-inch beds at spacings of 13-16 inches apart. |

| | Brussels sprouts are slow to mature and are known to be susceptible to a wide range of insect pests. | | | Brussels sprouts that mature during warm weather in the summer and early fall often have a strong, disagreeable flavor, while plants that mature under cooler fall conditions, particularly after frost, have a milder flavor. | | | The winter of 1990-91 was uncharacteristically mild, and the Brussels sprout harvest period could be significantly reduced in other years with colder winters. |

| | Brussels sprouts are grown for harvest in the fall because cool weather during maturity is essential for good flavor and quality. | | | Sprouts have loose tufts of leaves instead of firm heads because sprouts developed during hot weather; crop failures can also be due to water stress. | | | The lowest sprouts mature first and should be harvested when firm, l 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter. |

| | Brussels sprouts are the compact vegetative buds that develop along the stem of the Brussels sprouts plant. | | | Although they have considerable wax on their leaves, they become flaccid due to water loss if high relative humidity is not maintained. | | | They should be harvested when the buds are firm, but not overmature which is indicated by splitting of the outer leaves. |
