Good varieties of white cabbage

. 

Cabbage has been known to the population for a long time. For all the time of its existence, breeders have bred not very many varieties. Despite their small number, each summer resident tries to choose the variety that suits him best, but do not forget about the responses of other summer residents. What is the reason for this, what are the prevailing differences between the types, we will consider in this article.

Gribovskiy 147 - early variety of cabbage with small heads

Varieties of varieties

Almost no specialist can distinguish cabbage, especially after cutting. The vegetable culture has no special taste differences. Outwardly, almost all vegetables have the same shape. Varietal variety of white cabbage is mainly due to the different climatic weather conditions prevailing in a particular region. According to climatic conditions, all varieties are divided into:

• cold-resistant;
• heat resistant;
• drought-resistant.

The climate is difficult to predict, especially in the northern regions. Therefore, experts recommend taking varieties that have passed the test in these conditions.

Each variety of white cabbage ripens differently, therefore, according to the time it takes to fully grow the crop, it is classified into:

• early maturing;
• mid-season;
• medium late;
• late.

Variety Polyarny k-206 is suitable for growing in Siberia

Early ripening varieties

In early cabbage, cabbage heads are small, the type is low-yielding, the fruits often crack, so it is not recommended to store them. It takes 90-120 days to ripen a culture from the moment of sowing. The early varieties are used fresh. There are the following varieties of early maturing cabbage:

• № 1 Gribovskiy 147 - round smallish fruits of medium density. If the spring has been long, then most of the culture forms flower stalks. It is unstable to the keel and is greatly affected by it.
• No. 1 Polar k-206 - forks are dense, rounded, need good soil, moisture-loving, frost-resistant. If the type is grown in the North, then the cabbage can be stored and fermented, in other regions it is consumed fresh.
• June - early ripening, medium fruits have excellent taste. Suitable for the climate of the Khabarovsk Territory and the Urals. Cold snaps and frosts down to -5 degrees are not afraid of her.
• Early ripening - amicably growing round forks resemble June forks in terms of ripening and taste.
• Transfer F1 - high-yielding, does not crack during ripening, medium-dense heads of cabbage reach 1.5 kg in weight. Early cabbage needs fertile soils and is hygrophilous.
• Malachite - small, dense fruits, high-yielding variety, early, fruits practically do not crack.
• Parel F1 is a stable high-yielding variety of vegetables, heads of cabbage are resistant to cracking, the culture is not stored for a long time, therefore it is used fresh. Fusarium wilting is not scary to fruits.
• Athlete F1 - small round fruits do not give in to cracking, are used for making soups and salads.

Transfer F1 variety gives high yields if irrigated regularly

Mid-season varieties of culture

The varieties are the most productive. The period of full maturation is 120-150 days. Some species are perfectly stored, used not only fresh, but also suitable for any kind of processing. Let's list the best ones:

• Slava 1305 - medium-dense round culture forks weigh 3-5 kg. The culture has good taste properties. Average storage time, used for fermentation.
• Belorusskaya 455 - fruits of a round or flat shape, medium-yielding. Keeps perfectly fresh and fermented. Susceptible to bacterial decay.
• Sibiryachka 60 is a high-yielding universal crop. Dense round fruits have excellent taste.
• Hope - a non-cracking appearance has flat-round heads of cabbage. Stored on average up to 4 months. Recommended for fermentation and salads.

Belarusian cabbage 455 is great for pickling

Mid late view

The ripening period of a medium late variety is 130-160 days. The fruits are well stored, and the sauerkraut is excellent in taste. There are such mid-late varieties:

• Gift 2500 - a fruitful variety of white cabbage, resistant to various diseases and attacks of pests, has a good taste. Cotes are dense, flat-rounded, weighing 3-3.5 kg.

Late varieties

The growing season for this variety of cabbage exceeds 150 days. These are the best types of white-headed vegetables, which are perfectly stored during the long Russian winters. Among the late varieties are:

• Moskovskaya late 15 is the best high-yielding type of cabbage for pickling, but this variety is not suitable for storage. The forks weigh up to 6 kg. The culture needs fertile soil, does not like waterlogging.
• Amager 611 - there is no better variety for long-term storage in winter. Fruits with a bitter taste, rough, not suitable for fermentation. The taste of the fruit changes for the better during storage.
• Wintering 1474 - flat-round dense fruits reach 4 kg in weight, they are perfectly stored in the winter. The palatability becomes significantly better after several months of storage.
• Creumont F1 - the qualities of the hybrid are very close to those of the Dutch. Fruits are dense, stored for up to six months, do not lend themselves to fusarium wilt, have a good taste.

Dutch hybrid varieties

White cabbage hybrids from Holland are known to everyone. In Russia, Dutch breeding is highly valued, where they managed to breed hybrids that can be stored for up to 9 months, are less susceptible to various diseases, and practically do not crack.

Russian scientists quite often test imported types of cabbage. The following hybrids turned out to be the best and most resistant to cold climatic conditions:

• Krautkayser F1 is an excellent salad variety with dense round forks. Good for fermentation.
• Bartolo F1 is the most famous hybrid in Russia. The head of cabbage is slightly elongated elliptical in shape, weighs up to 3 kg, the fruits are dense. Stored all winter.

• Donar F1 is a kind of hybrid for long-term storage, it can be stored for more than 8 months without losing its taste. Medium late white cabbage has firm, medium-sized forks. Suitable for use in any form.

Today the market for plant seeds is quite extensive. Various domestic and foreign types of white cabbage are presented on the shelves. It is not surprising to get lost in all this diversity.

I want to try everything. But still, when choosing, you should listen to the advice of experienced gardeners, so that later it does not turn out that the variety is not at all suitable for the climatic conditions of your region.

Among the foreign varieties, there are also good ones that are suitable for our latitudes, but it is better to choose domestic species that are zoned in the conditions of our strip.

Many summer residents and gardeners especially appreciate the quality properties of white cabbage. Therefore, this type of vegetable crop is one of the most often grown in beds and gardens.

As historians note, white cabbage was first planted in the 4th century BC. Over a long period, it has changed, although up to 2 years A.D. there were about 5 varieties. Basically, new varieties of white cabbage appeared only at the beginning of the twentieth century. It was then that active selection work began.

Today, the best varieties of white cabbage can be distinguished according to various indicators and properties.

Before choosing the required type of large-headed vegetable, you need to clearly define what it is for. It should be noted that early, medium and late varieties of white cabbage are intended for different consumer purposes.

For example, early cabbage does not store for a long time, has a very good and delicate taste, and has resistance to shooting. It is intended for fresh summer consumption, or for preparing other dishes. The best variety for this is the Golden Hectare. The varieties that ripen later can be stored longer, are also resistant to high summer temperatures, and have an average shelf life.

Late varieties should be planned for long-term storage. They develop slowly. The growing season passes without much care (you only need to fertilize and water on time). They are resistant to cold weather and pests. Late varieties of white cabbage are also intended for pickling. They are often grown by entrepreneurs for sale during the winter part of the year.
