Cabbage Metelitsa

Colored cauliflower variety Metelitsa is a mid-early hybrid with a maturation period from planting 30-day seedlings to harvesting the crop within 55-60 days. The plant is powerful, well-leafed, which contributes to the formation of large, round heads weighing from 1 to 1.5 kg. Heads are dense, rich white in color, possess excellent taste qualities, high commercial value and good transportability. The hybrid is characterized by high synchronous maturation and stable yield, which is not less than 5-6 kg per square meter.

Metelitsa is well adapted to various climatic conditions and is resistant to many diseases and temperature stresses, which makes it a reliable choice for growing in different zones. This hybrid is excellent for growing under film, which allows obtaining an early crop under almost any conditions. Due to its resistance and quality characteristics, Metelitsa is popular among gardeners and farmers.

Growing cauliflower Metelitsa requires certain care: seedlings are recommended to be sown in common trays and covered with spunbond if necessary to protect from cold. After the first true leaf appears, the seedlings are transplanted into individual cups with drainage holes. When planting in the ground, pits are made deeper, ash is added, and they are watered with water with bio-preparations to protect against root rot. To repel pests, marigolds can be planted near the cauliflower, which contributes to preserving plant health and increasing yield.
