Characteristics of cabbage of the variety `` Pruktor f1 ''

Characteristics of the variety

Pructor F1 is a medium-ripening variety. The growth period of the culture is about 80 days from the moment of planting seedlings and 105 days from the moment of sowing seeds in the ground.

The positive qualities of this variety include:

• powerful root and foliage system;
• good covering property of fruits from the rays of the sun due to wide leaves;

• resistance to changes in temperature conditions;
• immunity against cracking;
• the possibility of double-turn sowing;
• rich productivity in almost any environmental conditions (about 90 tons per hectare);
• uniformity of heads of cabbage;
• attractive presentation;
• good transport ability.

Description of the head

Medium-sized fruits (from 2.5 to 4 kg). They are characterized by the following qualities:

• spherical heads of cabbage, very dense, colored light green;
• the surface of the skin of the fruit is lined with a grid;
• the inner stump is small;
• the pulp is fragrant, white.

Application of the vegetable

The maximum shelf life of the cabbage "Pruktor semes" F1 is about 16-18 weeks. Heads of cabbage are excellent both for fresh consumption and for fermentation, processing and use as an ingredient for winter preparations. Landing

Well warmed clay soils will be optimal for cultivation and rapid maturation of the variety. You should pay attention to the level of acidity of the soil - neutral or slightly acidic soils are necessary for the health of the crop.

Cucumbers, garlic, onions, tomatoes will be the best predecessors of the Pruktor cabbage. Do not plant cabbage in the garden after other cruciferous plants (all types of cabbage, horseradish, radish, shepherd's purse, mustard, etc.), this increases the chances of plant damage by diseases and pests.

White cabbage is a fairly cold-resistant crop, the seeds of Pruktor germinate even at 2 3 ° C. Hardened seedlings are able to withstand a short drop in temperatures down to -4-5 °, an adult plant up to -5-7 °. During the growth period, the most favorable amplitude is 15-17 °. The combination of prolonged heat and lack of moisture has a depressing effect on the plant and leads to a delay in development.

Care

Plants need good care

Like any other type of white cabbage, Pructor needs the following maintenance items for full growth and rich yields:

1. The culture is very demanding on the presence of moisture. But it must be remembered that waterlogging of the soil reduces the growth and productivity of the Pructor, can lead to the development of numerous cruciferous diseases, decay of the root system and even the death of the plant.In the first 10-12 days after planting seedlings, it is necessary to water the space between the seedlings with warm water at the rate of 1 liter per plant (every 3 days). From the moment the fruits are set, the root zone of each plant must be moistened with 3-3.5 liters of water. Optimal for moistening the cabbage is a system of fine-drop irrigation (sprinkling) early in the morning or late in the evening, when the heat of the day subsides.
2. It is produced to improve the indicators of moisture and air exchange in the soil, which is especially important on heavy soils. The time of its first execution (4-4.5 cm deep) depends on the landing method. With the seedling method - immediately after the seedlings take root, with the seed method - after the emergence of seedlings. The second stage is carried out in a week (6-7 cm), repeated until the leaves close in the aisles.
3. It is carried out simultaneously with loosening and consists in sprinkling wet earth with a mound to the bottom of the plant, contributing to the formation of additional roots. Hilling should be done after watering 2-3 weeks after planting seedlings. The Pruktor variety is characterized by a small stump, so the hilling procedure does not need to be repeated.

Top dressing

The amount of top dressing applied depends on the state of the soil and is usually repeated 2-3 times (2 weeks after planting the seedlings, after a month and, if necessary, 2 weeks after the second dressing).

Fertilizers are used both organic and chemical, and their combinations. The most important nutrients that must be supplied to the plant along with fertilizing are: nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, molybdenum, copper, pain, iron, sulfur.

Diseases

Cabbage variety Pruktor F1 has immunity against fusarium - cruciferous jaundice. Diseases dangerous for the variety include:

• keela (root cancer);
• black leg (rhizoctoniasis);
• downy mildew (downy mildew);
• white and black rot;
• cabbage mosaic;
• vascular bacteriosis.

The main methods of preventing these diseases are: selection of high-quality seed and soil, regular inspection of plants, prompt removal of affected diseases. It is also important to adhere to the principle of crop rotation to stop the spread of infection through the soil (spores of some fungi can stay in suspended animation for about 4-5 years).

Pests

In addition to bacterial, fungal and viral diseases, insects can pose a tangible threat to the plant, such as:

• cabbage (cruciferous) flea;
• cabbage fly;
• scoop;
• aphid.

Insects in most cases are located inside the cabbage head or on the inside of the leaves. Therefore, examination for their detection should be carried out as often as possible in order to detect lesions at an early stage. In the fight against already detected pests, folk remedies are used (various herbal infusions, tobacco dust, wood ash, laundry soap, etc.) or chemical insecticides (usually with a large population of insects). In the early stages of damage, manual collection of pests, their larvae and eggs will be quite effective.

Conclusion

Cabbage Pruktor F1 is a mid-season variety with a good yield of dense heads of the same type. The fruits have a universal purpose, have excellent taste characteristics and good transportability.

Simple care, high quality heads, tolerance to fusarium and resistance to temperature changes make the Pruktor an excellent option for industrial cultivation or planting in small summer cottages.
