Cultivation
Brassica oleracea L. (White Cabbage Group)
Planting density of white cabbage is a critical technical parameter that regulates marketable head size, maturity timing, and total yield, depending on the biological characteristics of the hybrid.
In the reference 31 varieties crop White cabbage, where this is mentioned in the description.
In white cabbage, there is a direct correlation between the plant's nutritional area and the target size of the marketable head. Adjusting planting density serves as a management tool: increasing density helps delay maturity, while thinning stimulates active head growth, which is necessary for producing larger-sized crops.
The choice of planting density depends on the maturity group: early-maturing varieties require higher density (approx. 50–60 thousand plants/ha), whereas mid-season and late-maturing types require a larger nutritional area with a density of 30–45 thousand plants/ha. In direct-seeding cultivation, the target density is achieved by thinning seedlings at the 3–4 true leaf stage.
Each hybrid possesses individual responsiveness to changes in planting density. During variety testing, optimal density parameters are determined, under which a specific genotype most effectively realizes its biological yield potential.
