crop White cabbage,
where this is mentioned in the description.
During white cabbage variety testing, instead of plant height, measurements are taken for the total plant height from the soil surface, the height of the lowest leaf attachment, and the length of the stump. The internal and external stump lengths are critical for evaluating lodging resistance and the suitability of a variety for mechanical harvesting.
The habit and height of the plant determine the required feeding area, influencing planting density. An excessive increase in height during head formation often indicates an imbalance in nitrogen nutrition or unfavorable growing conditions, which distinguishes white cabbage from species where stem height is a varietal trait.
