Agronomical characteristics of 20 cultivars of cabbage (Brassica oleraceae L.) in field conditions

Cabbage production is a large and vital part of the Slovenian vegetable industry, especially in the northeast and central regions of the state. Strict market quality standards and Slovenian's long cabbage season (late March-mid November) requires that grovers selected cultivars not only desired by the market but also adapted to a wide range of environmental and production conditions. This research was undertaken to provide Slovenian growers with information that can employ in cultivar selection. The study was therefore aimed at evaluating the yield performance of new cabbage cultivars compared with the commonly grown cultivars with the objective of identyfying the best that is capable of giving satisfactory yield for open field conditions in Ljubljana. The result obtained showed that new cultivars Autumn queen F1, R1-Cross F1 and Cheers F1 produced largest head weight. The commercial yield (on an area and per unit basis) of these cultivars was significantly higher than the rest of the cultivars.
