Moisture
If there is no regular loosening, the top layer of soil turns into a crust. Because of this, excess moisture stagnates at the roots of the plant, and the rotting process begins.
Nitrogen fertilizers
Nitrogen fertilizers, if used in large quantities, cause fruit to rot.
Rain
Cabbage does not like excess moisture. Heavy rains, when the soil does not have time to dry out, cause fruit to rot.
Hot weather
