An important morphological trait measured from the soil surface to the top of the plant at the stage of harvest maturity. It is used for variety testing, assessing suitability for mechanized harvesting, and optimizing planting patterns.

In biometric measurements, the plant height of white cabbage is defined as the distance from the soil level to the highest point (the tip of the leaves or the head). According to UPOV and state variety testing protocols, data are recorded in centimeters using a sample of at least 20 plants at the stage of full harvest maturity. For a comprehensive assessment, this trait is evaluated in conjunction with rosette diameter and stump height.
Plant height is classified on an intensity scale ranging from very low to very high, with specific values depending on the maturity group and variety genetics. This parameter is crucial for adjusting the working components of cabbage harvesters, ensuring correct regulation of the cutting zone, and it also influences plant resistance to lodging and the efficiency of nutrient area utilization under a selected planting scheme.
