Growing white cabbage
Description of late cabbage
Many late varieties have been bred. They differ mainly in the duration of ripening. While early varieties take three months from germination to fully ripen, mid-season varieties may take four months, then some varieties of late cabbage mature only six months after the start of growth from seeds.
Description of late cabbage
This long wait is rewarded:
- equally long shelf life;
- high yield of varieties;
- excellent transportability of heads of cabbage;
- readiness to preserve all valuable substances, taste and textural properties during salting, pickling and fermentation.
By the way! Varieties intended for long-term storage improve their palatability over time. In addition, in cabbage, unlike other vegetables and root crops, nitrates do not accumulate during the time it is stored.
Cabbage
The second difference between different types of cabbage ripening in terms of maturation is agricultural technology. In general terms, it is similar not only for all cabbages, but also for many crucifers. But the timing of sowing, germination, planting and some growth conditions differ in detail in late cabbage from its mid-ripening and early-ripening "relatives".
By the way! Some varieties of late-ripening cabbage can stay intact, under appropriate conditions, until the next harvest.
Growing features
Growing cabbage in a greenhouse
In different regions, depending on the climate, the seeds of late cabbage varieties are planted at different times. But always, in all climatic zones, this is a seedling method of growing. For late varieties, seedlings are grown at home (in extreme cases, in a heated greenhouse or greenhouse). In the southern regions, it is possible to sow seeds on a special seedling bed under a film cover.
Stimulation and disinfection of seeds
Seeds
Before sowing late cabbage seeds, they need to be disinfected. Soaking in hot water is sufficient for disinfection. The temperature should not be higher than + 45 ° С. It is necessary to keep cabbage seeds in water for a quarter of an hour, placing them first in a rag bag.
Disinfection of seeds
How to keep the required temperature in the container for a certain time?
- Put a dish of water on the heater (after checking the temperature of its heating in advance for half an hour).
- Put the container in another container, pouring water into it, ten degrees hotter (a kind of water bath, just not on fire).
- Disinfect seeds in a multicooker on the "Yogurt" mode.
Important! The heating procedure will not only destroy the microbes that may be inside the seed, but will also contribute to the speedy germination by activating the growth point of the embryo.
Disinfection of seeds with potassium permanganate
After disinfection by heating, the seeds must be quickly cooled by lowering them for one minute under cold running water.
Soaking the seeds in a fertilizer solution will help accelerate germination and make the seedlings even more uniform. It can be any mineral complex. It is best to take a regular nitrophosphate. The proportions for the preparation of the solution are 5 g of granules per 500 ml of water. Room temperature water. Dissolve thoroughly. Keep seeds for 12 hours.
Preparation of seedling containers and soil
Cabbage dives well, so it can be grown initially in any convenient or available containers. If pots are available, use pots. There are boxes, sow in boxes.
Peat seedling pots
It is more convenient to plant cabbage on a ridge or in a greenhouse from individual pots with a diameter of about 8 cm. By the time they move to the garden, the seedlings should have four adult leaves.
The soil for sowing cabbage does not need heavy. Peat is traditionally used.If possible, part of the humus is mixed with part of the sod land, sand can not be added. Both peat and mixed substrate must be seasoned with wood ash. About a tablespoon is used per liter of substrate. The ash is sieved before this. Then it is thoroughly mixed with the soil.
Soil for cabbage seedlings
If you have not steamed the soil mixture, then be sure to spill it with Trichophyte solution or pink potassium permanganate solution
Sowing
You can sow late cabbage seeds at the end of February. It can take up to 60 days before planting seedlings in the garden. The latest sowing dates for late varieties are mid-March. Sowing later in the middle lane is impractical, the heads will not have time to ripen.
Advice! If you are late with sowing late-ripening varieties, sow mid-ripening ones. Some mid-season varieties, for example, "Gift", are stored for up to four months, have good data for canning and can be used fresh.
Spread the seeds
Add seeds
Sowing takes place in shallow grooves, about 2 cm deep. The distance between the crops in the box is 5 cm.When two full-fledged leaves appear, the seedlings will have to be thinned so that a distance of at least 5 cm remains between the seedlings.If you are sowing in a pot, spread 3-4 seeds at the corners of an imaginary square, on top of the soil. Fill on top with a two centimeter layer of peat. Crops are watered and covered with foil.
Place the bowl in a plastic bag and keep the sowing until germination at a temperature of about 20 ° C
After germination, which appears on the 5-7th day, the film is removed immediately and is no longer used.
Watering cabbage seedlings
Preparing the cabbage bed
Preparing the cabbage bed
Late varieties need a lot of sunlight, heat and moisture for the heads of cabbage to fully ripen. Only finally ripe heads of cabbage can be stored all winter until summer. Therefore, the landing site is chosen open. The soil is fertilized with organic matter in the fall. Cabbage loves organic fertilizers - this is the best fertilizing option for this plant. Late cabbage especially needs fertilization of the soil. Up to 7 kg of rotted organic matter is used per 1 m². Can be fertilized with plant compost. But animal organic matter in addition, in the form of a solution, should be used for pre-plant feeding and for periodic feeding, of which at least three are carried out during the growing season.
Transfer
Seedling cabbage
At the end of April, holes are dug in a dug ridge according to the number of seedlings. Seedlings move into moist soil, with a moist clod, do not deepen. Watering is necessary abundant. The first feeding is carried out on the twentieth day after planting.

This period is at least 100 days, and with a lack of heat - 150 days. The weight of heads of cabbage varies from one and a half to three kilograms, in warm climatic zones it can even exceed this figure. A golden hectare is better resistant to frost and transported over long distances. It is better to land in the ground according to the 60 by 60 centimeters scheme.
Cabbage Golden hectare time-tested
The yield is at least 5 kilograms per square meter. With proper care and the absence of diseases, the yield is up to 9 kilograms, which is higher than the average for medium early varieties.
A golden hectare is better suited for fresh consumption, as well as cooking cabbage soup, borscht and cabbage rolls.

What diseases are exposed to cabbage varieties outdoors?
Diseases are a common factor that deprives gardeners of their crops - they cause damage. Agronomists call the disease of cabbage outdoors. Another name for this disease is black spot. Symptoms are easy to recognize: the plant is abundantly covered with necrotic formations in the form of brown spots of irregular shape: more often - an ellipse, less often - round.
Cabbage rot is an insidious disease that can destroy crops
With the development of the disease, the formations acquire a concentric character and cover the surface of the plant. A black bloom is noticeable around them - spores of fungi, which become breeding grounds for the disease.
To prevent the seeds are heated at a temperature of 50 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
Aphids on cabbage suck out juices from plants
White rot is no less common. Rotting is possible from the head of cabbage and outside. In 80% of cases, the first symptom is plaque on the lower part of the leaves, which feels and visually resembles a cobweb. Infection occurs outdoors, due to increased acidity. Other common diseases: leucorrhoea, penosporosis, downy mildew and vascular bacteriosis are much less dangerous for this crop.
