Yubileiny cabbage is a mid-early variety, used mainly for fresh cooking. Thanks to a fairly long shelf life, the vegetable retains its taste until the beginning of January. The crop has high resistance to diseases and pests, which is confirmed by the description of the Yubileiny cabbage variety F1 217.
Description of the Yubileiny cabbage variety
The originator is the agricultural company Semko. The main goal when breeding the Yubileiny F1 cabbage variety was to obtain a hybrid that has a relatively short ripening period and at the same time can be stored for a long time. Overall, the originator coped with the task. The ripening period for Yubileiny cabbage ranges from 90 to 100 days. It can be stored for 5-6 months.
The number of outer leaves of the Yubileiny variety rarely exceeds 5-6 pieces
Externally, it is an ordinary white cabbage, having a round or slightly flattened shape and a white-green color. The leaf blades are slightly oblong, with a strong seal at the base. The diameter of the heads is about 22 cm. The weight of ripened cabbage is from 1.5 to 2 kg.
Advantages and disadvantages
The positive properties of the hybrid include:
- relatively short ripening periods;
- storage duration up to six months;
- excellent taste raw and fermented;
- high resistance to almost all diseases;
Negative properties are:
- deterioration of taste during heat treatment.
Jubilee cabbage is a typical representative of salad vegetables. It is practically not used for preparing hot dishes and baking.
Yubileinaya cabbage yield F1
The yield of the Yubileiny cabbage variety when grown privately ranges from 200 to 400 kg per hundred square meters. The ways to increase it are standard - increasing planting density, using fertile soils for cultivation, intensifying agricultural technology.
Planting and caring for Yubileiny cabbage
It is recommended to grow Yubileiny cabbage in open ground. When planting seeds in mid-April, the harvest will be obtained in the second ten days of July. If earlier cultivation is required, use the seedling method.
In this case, the seeds are planted in boxes in early March. The seeding material is buried 1 cm. As soon as the seedlings appear, the boxes with seedlings are placed in a bright place with a low temperature (from + 5 ° C to + 8 ° C). Planting in open ground is carried out 35-40 days after the seed hatches. Planting pattern – 60x50 cm or 60x70 cm.
Planting in open ground occurs when the hybrid has three or more leaves.
Caring for Yubileiny cabbage consists of watering and fertilizing. Soil treatment is also required in the form of loosening and hilling as necessary.Watering is carried out at intervals of several days, while focusing on the moisture content of the top layer of soil. Recommended norms are up to 20-30 liters per 1 sq. m.
Fertilizing is done three times per season. The first is carried out in early May. In this case, organic fertilizers are used in the form of a solution of mullein or chicken droppings. The second is performed about a month later, using the same composition. The third feeding is mineral (phosphorus-potassium mixture in standard concentration for cabbage, no more than 50 g per 1 sq. m). It is applied 1-2 weeks before the expected harvest date.
Diseases and pests
The most common disease affecting the hybrid is clubroot. External manifestations include wilting of the leaves and subsequent death of the plant.
The cause of the disease is a fungus that leads to the appearance of growths on the rhizome
There is no treatment; affected specimens must be dug up and destroyed off-site. Preventive measures to combat the disease include pre-planting soil treatment with slaked lime (up to 500 g per 1 sq. m) and other methods of reducing its acidity. Clubroot does not appear on alkaline soils.
The main pest of the Yubileinaya variety is the cabbage moth. Considering the timing of ripening, the plant can be affected by the first and second generations of the insect.
Cabbage moth larvae make large holes in the leaves of the Yubileiny variety.
Pest control is carried out using chemical and biological agents. An effective remedy against moths will be the insecticides Butizan or Decis.The bacteriological drugs Bitoxbacilin and Dendrobacilin have also proven themselves well.
Application
It is used mainly fresh or canned. The Yubileiny cabbage variety is used in preparing salads and also for pickling.
Conclusion
The description of the Yubileinaya cabbage variety confirms that the variety in question is a mid-season hybrid, created to fill the niche in ripening time between early and mid-late varieties. The vegetable has an excellent taste and a shelf life of almost six months. It is used mainly fresh, and is also used for fermentation.
