Varieties of cauliflower. Types of cauliflower with a photo: which varieties are suitable for growing outdoors

Cauliflower has been cultivated by man for hundreds of years. In our country, cauliflower appeared only in the 18th century and did not become widely known due to the difficulties of growing - the plant is thermophilic and ripens for a long time. But in the 20th century, the situation changed significantly, as many varieties were created that could grow under difficult weather conditions.

The best varieties of cauliflower

When choosing a variety cauliflower experienced gardeners be sure to pay attention to the ripening period, which can be from 50 to 200 days. Importance also have:

  • ability to endure adverse conditions;
  • productivity;
  • taste and commercial qualities of inflorescences.

Early

Early varieties of cauliflower are ready for harvesting within 50–100 days after germination (in late June - early July). And residents of the southern regions, when planting such varieties, can receive several crops per season. But early ripening cauliflower also has its drawbacks. Its sprouts are not as large as those of the late one, and are much less stored.

For varieties with short term maturity include:

  • Moscow Ultra;
  • Warranty;
  • Polar Star;
  • Movir 74;
  • Tsendis;
  • Express MS;
  • Dereza goat;
  • Françoise;
  • Yarik.

Warranty

Domestic variety obtained by specialists of the Vegetable Experimental Station named after V.I. Edelstein of the Timiryazev Agricultural Academy and entered into the State Register for all regions of Russia in 1968. Reaches harvest maturity on the 70-98th day after germination.

Guarantees are characterized by round, creamy or yellowish heads with a fine-grained surface. Their weight ranges from 500 g to 1.2 kg. Heads taste great. The warranty is not prone to fading, fading and cracking. It also has a relative resistance to such a dangerous disease as bacteriosis. The variety ripens quite amicably. From 1 m 2 of plantings, from 1.5 to 3.8 kg of cauliflower are harvested.

The diameter of the heads of the variety Guarantee can reach 26 cm

Dereza goat

Goat dereza is one of the most famous varieties of Russian breeding. Its harvesting is started on the 50-70th day after germination. The vertical rosette consists of gray-green, slightly bubbled leaves, partially covering the inflorescences. The heads are rounded, dense, white. The taste is good. The average weight of sprouts is 600–800 g, but with favorable conditions it can increase up to 2.5 kg.

The yield of the variety is 3.2 kg / m 2. It is characterized by friendly maturation, which allows you to collect most heads in one go. The variety easily tolerates a short-term drop in temperature to -5 ° C. It is rarely affected by diseases characteristic of representatives of the cruciferous family.

The variety of cauliflower Koza-Dereza, bred by Biotechnology specialists, is recommended for cultivation in all regions of the Russian Federation

Francoise

Francoise ripens on the 90-100th day after germination. The heads are yellowish, rounded flat, partially covered with gray green leaves. They are not very dense, but have a very delicate texture. The weight of sprouts rarely exceeds 600 g. The average yield is about 3.2 kg / m 2. The taste of the Francoise variety is rated by experts as excellent. It is eaten fresh and subjected to all kinds of processing.

Mid-season

Mid-season varieties of cauliflower require 100 days and stable warm weather (above 20 o C) to reach harvest maturity. Their main advantage is their long shelf life. Popular mid-season cauliflower varieties include:

  • summer resident;
  • Purple ball;
  • Purple;
  • White head;
  • Parisian;
  • Clipper.

summer resident

Summer resident - well tolerated high humidity and sudden temperature changes, a variety recommended for cultivation in all regions of Russia. It is distinguished by an extended period of formation of inflorescences, thanks to which gardeners get the opportunity to harvest throughout the season. The variety forms a raised rosette of leaves with partially covered flat-round dense heads. Their color can vary from whitish to light cream. The average weight is 0.6–1 kg. The taste of inflorescences received the highest ratings from experts. They are used for stewing, boiling and baking in fresh and after freezing.

purple ball

purple ball - original variety, ripening 4 months after germination, which can be grown not only for food, but also for decorating the garden. Differs in saturated-violet coloring of flat-rounded heads. They have a nice soft texture and great taste.

Cauliflower variety Lilac ball will decorate any garden

Under favorable conditions, the weight of the Lilac ball heads is about 900 g. The average yield of the variety is about 2.9 kg / m 2. Its inflorescences are used as food after cooking. When preparing them, it must be taken into account that during cooking, the color loses its brightness.

Parisian

Parisian is a variety resistant to diseases and low temperatures, reaching harvest maturity on the 110-120th day after germination. Forms dense rounded-flat heads of milky color, which are partially closed light green leaves. The average weight is 750 g. The Parisienne has an excellent taste, which is preserved during freezing and canning. The average yield is 2.5 kg / m 2.

Late

Late varieties of cauliflower ripen no earlier than 120 days after germination. Such a long waiting period is fully justified - large heads, whose weight often exceeds 1.5 kg, have excellent taste. In addition, they are well stored and transported over long distances.

Late maturing varieties include:

  • Agnia;
  • Silver ball;
  • Hispalis;
  • Green snowdrift;
  • Trident;
  • Otis.

Agnia

A modern variety of Russian selection, created for sowing before winter. With this method of planting, the first crop is harvested from it in mid-July. Usually it is about 2.5 kg/m 2 . Agnia heads are rounded flat, whitish, with a fine-grained surface and delicate texture. From bright sun they are well protected by blue-green leaves that completely cover the inflorescences. The average weight of sprouts is 1.5 kg. Agnia variety has good taste and excellent marketability. It is used for boiling, stewing and baking.

Green snowdrift

Green snowdrift - Russian variety with rounded heads of green color, partially closed grayish, long leaves elliptical shape. It ripens on the 180-190th day after germination. The average weight of the Green Snowdrift heads is 740–840 g. The taste and commercial qualities of the variety are very high. It is used for fresh consumption and all types of processing. Variety Green Snowdrift is immune to bacteriosis.

One square meter of plantings of the Green Snowdrift brings about 2.1 kg of high-quality heads with the original color

Varieties of Dutch selection

AT recent times hybrids bred by Dutch breeders are especially popular. They are distinguished by stable yields, unpretentiousness, even heads.

Table: hybrids of the Dutch selection common in Russia and the CIS countries

Name of the hybrid Ripening period Productivity (kg / m 2) Average head weight (kg) Short description
Amerigo Middle late 3,1–4,5 1,5 The heads are rounded, medium tuberous, dense, completely covered with gray-green leaves. The color is whitish, the texture is delicate. Taste is excellent. The hybrid is able to tolerate low temperatures at the end of the growing season and rarely suffers from diseases. Among its minuses, only exactingness to soil fertility can be noted.
Goodman mid-early 3,2–4,6 0,6–0,7 Partially covered with blue-green wavy leaves, the heads are round-flat, whitish-yellow, with medium or coarse tuberosity, aligned in size. The taste is excellent. Recommended for canning and preparing summer salads. Goodman is rarely affected by disease, but does not tolerate drought well.
Vinson Early 5,9 1,8 Whitish, rounded flat, partially covered heads have a dense structure and excellent taste qualities.
Cortes Early 2,0–3,9 0,6–2,0 White, medium bumpy, rounded, dense heads partially covered with green leaves. The taste is good. The hybrid differs in stable productivity and high marketability.
Malimba Early about 4 0,6–1,5 The heads are flat-round, dense, milky white, covered with leaves. It is used for stewing, cooking and baking fresh and canning. The taste is excellent. Malimba is resistant to common infections, but suffers greatly from lack of moisture and nutrients. It reacts especially badly to excessive acidification of the soil, which can lead to a significant decrease in yield, and sometimes to the death of the plant.
Santamaria Medium (75–95 days) 3,6 0,8–1,5 Elliptical heads, dense, completely covered with leaves. White color. The hybrid is suitable for all-season cultivation in closed ground. It easily tolerates drought and lack of potassium, and is also rarely affected by fungal infections. Cauliflower Santamaria keeps well fresh and does not lose its taste after freezing.
Fortaleza mid-season 4,9 2.8 Hilly, rounded flat, partially covered with gray-green vesicular leaves, the heads are whitish in color and have a delicate structure. The taste is excellent.
fremont mid-early 4,6–5,5 1.5–2 The heads are flat-round, dense, white, strongly tuberous, completely closed. The texture is delicate. The taste is excellent. Fremont amicably forms heads aligned in size and easily tolerates heat.

Amerigo heads are securely closed against scorching sun The Vinson hybrid can be grown in open ground, and in greenhouses Goodman needs regular watering to set and grow heads
The heads of the Cortes hybrid are of high commercial quality. No more than 55 days pass from the emergence of Malimba shoots to the maturation of the heads.
Santamaria heads are ready for harvest 75–95 days after planting seedlings on permanent place
Due to the almost complete coverage of Fortaleza heads with leaves, they do not suffer from sunlight. Under favorable conditions, the weight of Fremont heads often reaches 5 kg.

highly productive

Usually from 1 m 2 occupied by cauliflower, they collect from 2 to 4 kg marketable products. But recently, hybrids have been bred, the yield of which reaches 8–10 kg / m 2. For example:

  • Prudence. Mid-early Dutch hybrid, zoned on the territory of the Russian Federation in 2018. Forms round-flat, almost white heads weighing about 2.3 kg. The taste is excellent. 1 m 2 beds of this hybrid brings up to 11.5 kg of vegetables used for cooking, stewing and preservation.
  • Octopus. Mid-late hybrid with broadly elliptical, whitish, tuberous heads, fully enclosed grey-green leaves. Taste is excellent. The yield of Octopus ranges from 6 to 9.5 kg / m 2.
  • Flirt. French mid-season hybrid with rounded whitish heads weighing 1.5–2.2 kg, partially covered with gray-green leaves. Productivity - from 6.2 to 9.1 kg / m 2. Flirt's inflorescences are very tasty. They are used for fresh consumption after heat treatment.
  • Ferraro. Dutch mid-season hybrid, recommended State Commission for cultivation in all regions of our country. Its heads, slightly covered with gray-green leaves, are broadly elliptical and almost white in color. At the stage of removable maturity, their weight is 2–2.3 kg. 1 m 2 beds of Ferraro brings about 8 kg of inflorescences with excellent taste.

Varieties and hybrids for regions

When choosing a variety of cauliflower for planting great importance has the climate of the region. So, varieties that bring a bountiful harvest in the south grow poorly and tie heads in cool weather, which is characteristic of more northern regions, and vice versa.

For the central zone of the Russian Federation and the Moscow region

short and not too short warm summer Moscow region and all middle lane allows the cultivation of only varieties of cauliflower with a short growing season. The following representatives of this culture show good results here:

  • Moscow Ultra;
  • Movir 74;
  • Vinson;
  • Glade star;
  • Goodman;
  • summer resident;
  • Dereza goat.

For the Urals and Siberia

Cauliflower varieties grown in Siberia and the Urals must not only have time to ripen in short summer, but also to be resistant to sudden changes in weather and short-term frosts. Better than others with such extreme conditions handle:

  • Parisian;
  • Dereza goat;
  • Movir 74;
  • Express MS;
  • Snowball;
  • Santamaria.

For the Chernozem region

Thanks to the warm and long summer, the inhabitants of the Chernozem region can grow varieties of cauliflower with any ripening period. The main thing is that they easily endure elevated temperatures and lack of moisture. These requirements are met by:

  • Fremont;
  • Santamaria;
  • Fortaleza;
  • Green snowdrift;
  • Goodman;
  • Vinson.

Excellent taste and high nutritional characteristics, as well as a spectacular appearance, have made cauliflower a desirable vegetable in the beds of many gardeners. In order for its cultivation to be as effective as possible, you should carefully consider the choice of varieties and hybrid forms of vegetables. This article presents highly productive varieties of cauliflower with a photo, name and brief description varietal characteristics, after reading which, you can choose the best way for planting in a greenhouse or garden.

Early ripe varieties

This category includes cauliflower, the heads of which ripen in 50-110 days. Depending on the length of the growing season, early varieties can be divided into ultra-early and early varieties. Such varieties are recommended for spring-autumn planting in greenhouses, under film and in the open field in order to obtain early-ripening vitamin products, they require intensive agricultural technology. Among the best it should be noted:


Advice! To obtain good yields of French Snowball cauliflower, intensive farming practices should be used, regularly applying nutritious fertilizers, including those containing molybdenum and boron.

Overview of varieties and hybrid forms with an average ripening period

According to the ripening period, mid-season varieties and hybrid forms of cauliflower can be divided into 2 categories: medium-early - up to 130 days and medium-late - up to 145 days. They are great for cultivation in the summer or summer-autumn period.


Late ripening - from 150 days

Late maturing varieties

Late varieties and hybrid forms of this vegetable are recommended for cultivation in the southern regions of the country. Their ripening period reaches 150 or more days.

  1. 'Universal' is a late maturing variety with green heads. Their unusual color is explained small size dark leaves with a waxy coating, raised and, accordingly, not covering a medium-sized head of cabbage weighing about 400 g.
  2. "Consista" is a cold-resistant late-ripening variety with hard, dense and juicy heads weighing up to 850 kg, ripens in 160 days.
  3. "Sochinskaya" - cauliflower with dense white-cream heads weighing about 500 g. It is well stored, characterized by a delicate taste and a high content of vitamins.
  4. "Autumn Giant" - a variety ripening in 200 days with dense white-headed heads of 2.5 kg of weight.
  5. "Regent MS" - late-ripening variety with medium-sized white heads weighing up to 800 g and excellent taste.
  6. "Adler winter 679" - a late variety with a growing season of about 200 days, white-headed or cream-colored.

Some varieties of cabbage require additional bleaching

Attention! The Adler Winter is planted in July, and the harvest falls in February. The cultivation of this variety allows you to get an early spring crop of cauliflower.

When choosing a variety for the middle lane and more northern regions, it is recommended to give preference to early and very early hybrid forms and varieties. On the contrary, gardeners living in the southern regions of the country can afford to grow not only early varieties, but also medium late and late varieties, providing themselves fresh vegetable during the whole year.

Cauliflower is truly a storehouse of mineral salts, vitamins, useful biological substances, and people with liver disease and gastrointestinal tract cauliflower is essential because of its low fiber content.

Nutritional advantages of cauliflower are superior to that of cabbage: twice as rich in protein, two to three times ascorbic acid (vitamin C). It also surpasses the head of cabbage in the content of alkaline mineral salts, which is very important in case of excessive consumption of protein foods. Due to the thin cellular structure, cauliflower is absorbed by the body more fully than other cabbages.

Cauliflower is a very demanding plant to care for. To obtain good head, you must have at least 20-25 large leaves on the plant. Special attention it is necessary to give regular watering to plants that love moist soil and do not tolerate drought. A three-four-day lack of lag during the period of tying the heads leads to the fact that the heads will turn out Low quality, small, will immediately crumble. Therefore, during the growing period, cauliflower is watered with a full rate (10-20 liters per 1 sq. M) 4~5 times. In addition, plants need regular refreshing watering.

After watering, when the soil dries up, it should be loosened immediately. Between plants in a row, loosening should be carried out at a shallow depth so as not to damage the roots and destroy weeds in a timely manner. Two weeks after planting, plants spud.

Many summer residents grow cauliflower in greenhouses, this contributes to an early harvest. However, an early harvest of this vegetable can be obtained without greenhouses; for this, early varieties of cabbage are chosen: Skorospelka, Movir, Early Gribovskaya 1355.

Cauliflower seedlings are grown in much the same way as cabbage seedlings. Seeds are sown 40-45 days before planting seedlings. Usually use boxes 50 cm long, 30 wide and 10 cm high with a detachable longitudinal wall. Drainage stones are placed at the bottom of the box. On leveled, moistened and slightly compacted soil mixture grooves are marked with a distance of 3 cm and a depth of 0.5 cm. The seeds are covered with the same mixture, the sowing is compacted. The first top dressing is given a week after planting the seedlings (planted according to the scheme 60 X 30 cm) with a solution of urea (2 tablespoons per 10 liters of water per 10 plants with the addition of 1 tablespoon of potassium chloride). The second dressing is given at the beginning of the formation of the head. Top dressing consists of a solution of nitrophoska (3 tablespoons per 10 liters of water for 5 plants) with the addition of 2 g boric acid and molybdenum ammonium. Plant nutrition and organic fertilizers are useful: bird droppings, diluted with water 20 times, or mullein - 10 times, as well as slurry - 4 times.

Cauliflower is very responsive to feeding. The first top dressing is carried out 10 days after planting the seedlings, when the plants begin to grow. To do this, add 25 g of nitrophoska and 0.5 liters of mullein to a bucket of water, spending 0.7 liters of solution per plant. Two weeks later, during the formation of a head with a size of Walnut carry out the second top dressing with the same composition at the rate of 1 liter of solution per plant. After 10 days, the plants are fed a third time. To do this, take 50 g of nitrophoska for 10 liters of water, pour 1 liter of solution under each plant.

The leaves of plants will tell you about the lack of one or another element in the soil. The light color of the leaves indicates a lack of nitrogen in the soil, brown spots on the leaves, this is a lack of potassium, and a bluish-purple color on the underside of the leaves means a lack of phosphorus. At this time, cauliflower is very sensitive to high temperature air. At temperatures above 25°C and violation of the irrigation regime, the heads formed within 2-3 days will be small, loose, with a fleecy surface, sometimes with leaves germinating in the head. Therefore, in particularly hot weather, except for timely watering, it is necessary to spray the plants with water to increase humidity and reduce air temperature in the leaf zone. Moreover, it is necessary to spray several times a day, and in hot hours - every 15 minutes.

Although cauliflower is a photophilous plant, the growing heads must be protected from direct sunlight. If this is not done, they may turn yellow or turn brown and even purple. Therefore, a mandatory technique for obtaining high-quality heads is their shelter. The easiest, but not the best way is to break one or two large rosette leaves above the head. It is much better not to break the leaves, but to tie 2-3 sheets above the head with twine. Each time you need to use a twine of a different color, then when cleaning you do not need to untie all the twines, but just look at the heads tied with twine of the same color. You can also cover the heads with paper, large leaves, etc.

The most important thing when growing cauliflower is not to allow the suspension of plant growth. Therefore, in addition to top dressing and timely watering, plants are also sprayed with water during the hot hours of the day to increase air humidity and reduce temperature in the leaf zone. When the air temperature is above 25° and the violation of the irrigation regime, small leaves are formed, the heads become loose, with a fleecy surface, sometimes with leaves germinating in the head. Best Temperature for the growth of cauliflower and the formation of dense large heads 16-18 °.

Many gardeners grow cauliflower in a seedless way, such plants grow faster, they are more drought-resistant, they form heads faster. The scheme of sowing seeds is the same as that used for planting seedlings in open ground. With this method of cultivation, a magnificent autumn harvest of large heads of cauliflower is obtained.

From one area, you can get two crops of cabbage if you grow cauliflower among cabbages. To do this, cauliflower seedlings are planted in the last days of April according to the scheme 70 × 70 cm, protecting it from frost with individual caps or film shelter. At the beginning of the third decade of July, on the same bed, in rows between cauliflower, medium-late cabbage is planted one by one.

By this time, the cauliflower has time to develop good socket leaves, but since her leaves are erect, she does not interfere with the development of cabbage. Growing, large cabbage leaves cover the cauliflower, creating best conditions for the development of heads (low temperature, high humidity, protection from direct sunlight).

After cutting the heads, you can get a second crop of cauliflower, leaving on plants one shoot from several, growing from the axillary buds of the stalk.

Any commercially available variety can be used to grow cauliflower. All of them are good, but more early varieties - Early Gribovskaya and Guarantee; from mid-season we will call the variety Patriotic with large heads. When growing cauliflower for seeds, you need to take only one variety so that there are no seed plants of any other cabbage around, otherwise wind pollination cannot be avoided.

The largest, early-formed dense heads are left on the seeds. They are not transferred to another place. Gradually, the heads begin to diverge and lengthen, first of all, the extreme shoots lengthen. Usually the central part of the head is cut with a thin sharp knife in dry sunny weather and cut sprinkled with crushed charcoal or small sawdust. However, recent studies have found that cutting side shoots and leaving 2-4 shoots of the central part of the head on the seeds accelerates the ripening of seeds and increases the yield from 19-24 g per plant to 34-42 g.

testicles during mass flowering fed with a solution of superphosphate (100 g per 10 l of water) with the addition of potassium chloride (40 g) and boric acid (5 g) for 5 plants. Plants are tied to stakes already in the budding phase. Watering is intensified during the period of seed filling, not forgetting to loosen the soil after each watering or rain.

The beginning of seed ripening is determined by the color of the pods - they turn brown. To speed up this process, the testicles are slightly supported. This is usually done in September. Full maturation of seeds should not be expected, it is better to cut the shoots when the seeds in the pod turn slightly brown and become hard (wax ripeness phase). Cut shoots selectively. Then they are tied into bundles and hung in a ventilated room (in a barn or in the attic, where the seeds ripen). Burlap or film is spread under the bundles so that the crumbling seeds do not disappear. Ripe seeds are brown in color. The threshed seeds are cleaned, sorted, checked for germination and stored in room conditions, it is better in an airtight container, where they will not sweat even with sharp fluctuations in temperature.

When growing cauliflower, experienced gardeners and gardeners often fail. The reasons must be sought in non-compliance with agricultural technology: growing seedlings without fertilizing with boron and molybdenum, growing seedlings without pots, stopping growth due to lack of moisture and untimely fertilizing, in hot weather, plants were not irrigated with water, etc. To avoid this, you need to really carefully study the agricultural technology of growing cauliflower.

This article discusses the best varieties of early cabbage various varieties with photo: white, red, savoy, color, broccoli, kohlrabi and others. What varieties of early white cabbage are suitable for different regions.

Early ripening cabbage is one of the most popular vegetables. Early varieties of cabbage are saturated with vitamins (especially C, B 9, K, U), mineral elements, carbohydrates, and biologically active substances.

When planning plantings, it must be taken into account that the crop of early cabbage needs to be consumed and processed quickly. Important exact calculation number of plants and timing of harvesting.

Overview of early varieties of cabbage

In the group of early ripening vegetables, the assortment is being rapidly updated, especially in recent years. Faithful to the old successful varieties, it is necessary to test also modern achievements domestic and world selection. They are aimed at the evenness of the harvest, resistance to infections, endurance to bad weather, and most importantly - to the maximum acceleration in terms of ripening.

Each variety of cabbage has early hybrids and varieties.

white-headed


Early (early) are considered varieties and hybrids of white cabbage, ready for consumption 85-110 days after germination.

Compared with mid-ripening and late cabbage, less dry matter accumulates in early-ripening cabbage. But the best varieties of early cabbage contain a lot of cell sap, vitamins and sugars. They are especially good in fresh salads; in addition, they are extinguished, put in vegetable soups, used for cabbage rolls.

Early ripe cabbage is not very suitable for pickling without the use of acetic or citric acid(that is, for pickling in the traditional way, where table salt and fermentation products act as preservatives). However, it can be harvested for the winter in marinades and assorted salads.

For winter storage fresh early cabbage is not good. Plucked heads are able to lie in the refrigerator for a short time, but their vitamin content and taste are rapidly declining.

June

This cabbage was bred more than half a century ago and has been on the State Register since 1971. Many gardeners still prefer it today, noting only one significant disadvantage– instability to cracking (especially in waterlogged conditions).

Having passed many tests in various regions of Russia, June showed high genetic stability and the ability to adapt to the vagaries of bad weather.

Seedlings withstand frosts down to minus 5 degrees, quite successfully resist cabbage fly. Harvesting is done 3-3.5 months after the start of the growing season. Head shape - spherical, weight - from 0.9 to 2.5 kg. The cut is greenish white. The depth of the stump is medium. Density and tasting score - 4 points. Recoil up to 650 kg per hundred

Dot

A popular variety of early cabbage of the Altai selection, also zoned in other regions. In the Seed Registry since 1992, vegetable growers noticed that Tochka's seedlings stand out for their especially large size, wide rounded leaves, and thick legs.

After planting in a permanent place, the plants develop compactly, you can place them with thickening - up to 6-7 pieces per square meter. Heads of cabbage curl early and amicably, ready for harvesting 90-106 days after germination. Crack resistance– average.

The size of a head of cabbage is from 700 g to one and a half kilograms or a little more. The density is moderate, the cut is yellowish-white, the taste is very good. The average yield is about 50 kg per 10 square meters. m., but in favorable conditions you can collect twice as much.

Cossack F1

The Russian hybrid was successfully tested in different regions Russia and has been in the State Register since 1996. The output of standard heads of cabbage is up to 50 kg from 10 square meters. m. They are ready for mass harvesting after 98-108 days. Heads of cabbage are quite dense, weighing from 800 g to 1.2 kg.

The color on the cut is creamy white, the taste is excellent. This hybrid is especially valued for its resistance to blackleg and slimy bacteriosis; in addition, it is quite resistant to vascular bacteriosis and even to keel.

Nastya F1

A new ultra-early hybrid from the Semko agricultural company (86 days). Products are leveled, dense, 1200 g in size, do not crack, do not suffer from fusarium. Ripening is friendly.

Return from 10 sq. m. (50 bushes) - up to 70 kg.

Eliza F1

Imported ultra-early hybrid from Sakata Corporation. Withstands both heat and frost down to minus 6 degrees. Head weight 1.1-1.6 kg. Planting density - 5-6 plants per square meter. Member of the Russian State Register since 2007.

The hybrid has earned laudatory reviews from gardeners for a stable yield.

Hermes F1

Plants are compact: 10 sq. m place 6-7 pieces; 50-60 kg are removed from this area.

Savoy


Soft and tender leaves of the Savoyard variety are ideal for fresh salads and cabbage rolls. Unlike white cabbage, Savoy cabbage tolerates freezing well - both in individual leaves and in whole heads.

Varieties suitable for harvesting after 90-110 days from the beginning of the growing season are considered early.

Golden early

A variety of Czech origin, entered in the Russian State Register in 1995. The corrugation and bubbling are very strong. The head of cabbage is half open, of moderate density, weighing about 750 g. Cracking is rare.

Return per square meter - about 3 kg.
