Cabbage White Excel F1 — a medium-early hybrid of Japanese selection by the company Sakata, suitable for cultivation both in open ground and under film. This variety is characterized by high adaptability and resistance to adverse weather conditions, including cold snaps and frost, allowing for a stable harvest in various climatic conditions. The vegetation period is 65-70 days after transplanting seedlings, making it ideal for obtaining two harvests per year — in spring and autumn.
White Excel plants form large, dense heads of round-oval shape, white in color, weighing 2.5 to 3 kg. The heads are well protected by covering leaves that tightly adhere to the flower heads, preventing damage from sunlight, moisture, and pests. The plant has medium vigor with simultaneous head maturation, facilitating harvest. The cabbage is low-maintenance, tolerates high humidity and low temperatures, and its leaves do not expose the head even during frost.
For successful cultivation, crop rotation is recommended, planting cabbage on plots previously occupied by solanaceous or leguminous crops. Care includes regular watering as needed, followed by soil loosening, and fertilization with organic and mineral fertilizers 2-3 times during the maturation period. The harvest is suitable for fresh consumption, processing, freezing, and thermal treatment, making this variety universal and popular among vegetable growers.
