Variety traits

Vegetation period — Savoy cabbage

Brassica oleracea L. (Savoy Cabbage Group)

The time interval from mass emergence to the physiological maturity of heads, which for Savoy cabbage varies from 65 to over 140 days depending on the maturity group.

In the reference 38 varieties crop Savoy cabbage, where this is mentioned in the description.

The vegetation period of Savoy cabbage is measured in days and can be calculated either from the moment of emergence or from the date of transplanting. Based on the duration of this cycle, varieties are divided into early-maturing (65–120 days), mid-maturing and mid-late maturing (80–135 days), and late-maturing (135–140+ days).

The choice of variety based on the duration of vegetation determines the timing of sowing for seedlings and transplanting into the soil, allowing for a staggered supply of produce. Despite the crop's high cold resistance, late-maturing forms require early sowing to complete development before the onset of severe cold, which also affects the storage quality of the heads.
