In relation to white cabbage, "winter cover" is not a method of preserving crop vegetation. The term most often refers to the overwintering sites of the crucifer flea beetle, such as plant debris or forest litter, from which the pest migrates to young plantings in the spring.

In pre-winter sowing agrotechnics, covering materials are used to protect seeds and seedlings. The use of mulch or spruce branches helps regulate soil temperature and prevent premature seed germination during thaws, while non-woven materials protect young seedlings from insects.
