Cultivation

Open Field — Red Cabbage

Brassica oleracea L. (Red Cabbage Group)

The primary cultivation method for red cabbage, requiring consideration of its increased light requirements and the dependence of leaf anthocyanin coloration intensity on soil pH levels.

In the reference 25 varieties crop Red cabbage, where this is mentioned in the description.

Red cabbage in open field conditions demonstrates high responsiveness to soil fertility, preferring loamy or peaty substrates. The crop's developed root system allows it to tolerate short-term droughts more effectively compared to white cabbage; however, regular irrigation is necessary for head formation. An important biological feature is the dependence of leaf color on soil acidity: reddish hues appear in acidic conditions, while the color shifts to bluish in alkaline environments.

Cultivation technology includes both transplanting and direct seeding methods, with the latter being applicable primarily in southern regions. The crop is characterized by high cold resistance, which allows plants to remain in the open field until late autumn, and the heads possess resistance to cracking during maturation. Planting schemes vary depending on the variety's vegetation period: from 70 by 30 centimeters for early-maturing types to 70 by 60 centimeters for late-maturing varieties.
