Variety characteristic
Category f1 Tobia cabbage was bred by renowned breeders from Holland. In early 2005, she received a place in the State Register of the Russian Federation.
This variety of white cabbage can be grown in all regions of the country. In addition, it shows excellent yields, both in personal garden plots and in industrial ones.
Description of cabbage variety Tobia f1:
- Cabbage Tobia f1 ripens relatively early (only 3 months) from the moment the first shoots appear. The stump, which is located on the outside, is small in size. The plant is of short stature, therefore, its entire part receives nutrition from the soil.
- According to the description, the leaves are dark green in color. The density of foliage is high, so harvesting is often carried out with the help of machines. The entire surface is covered with pimples, and the edges are slightly wavy.
- The inner stump is small. When the fruit is cut, a whitish-yellow tint is observed. The fetus weighs about 506 kg. The shape of the head is round, slightly oval. The underside of the leaves is too close to the ground.
Growing
Planting is carried out only by seedlings, therefore, in early March, seeds should be treated with Oxyhom (5 ml per 1 liter of water). After that, the seeds are washed with cool water and placed in the refrigerator for a day. After 24 hours, the seeds can be planted in containers 5 cm apart. The sowing depth is 1.5 cm.After 30 days from the moment of planting the seeds, you can plant in open ground.
You should choose only fertile soil with a low acid-base balance (no more than 4%). Otherwise, the soil must be treated with limestone. The area where the seedlings will be planted should be well lit by the sun. The holes should be staggered, with a distance of 40x50 cm. It is important to adhere to a distance of 70 cm between the rows. The planting depth depends on the growth of the seedlings. It is not worth deepening further than the first sheet.
Care advice
Regular watering is important for the Tobia variety.
It is important to constantly regulate the water supply to the soil. The watering interval should be about 3-4 days. At least 3 liters of warm water should be poured under each bush. This volume allows the roots to form better. As soon as the seedlings reach the age when inflorescences begin to form, the volume of water supplied should be increased to 6 liters. It is important to remove weeds and loosen the soil. The depth of weeding should be 5-7 cm. This allows you to remove the top crust from the ground and supply nutrients and oxygen to the soil.
Top dressing is carried out in several stages:
- The first one 12-15 days after planting in open ground should be carried out using chicken droppings. About 500 g of the substance is introduced under each plant.
- The second is 10 days after the first. At this point, a mullein is used in an amount of 400 g per plant.
- The third is at the moment the fruit begins to form. At this point, it is recommended to apply about 200 g of wood ash under each plant.
The exclusion of mineral components is not accidental: if you use only organic fertilizers, the products will be more environmentally friendly.
Prophylaxis
The description of the Tobia variety indicates that it is not affected by pests and diseases. Breeders have made sure that the care of this variety is minimal. If you wish, you can take some preventive measures.
As a preventive measure, wood ash can be scattered throughout the area. The recommended dosage is 2 kg per 1m2. Using tobacco dust and cayenne pepper will protect the plant from many diseases and pests (moth, cabbage flea, tobacco mosaic or black rot).
Conclusion
Tobia is a unique hybrid variety that has gained worldwide recognition. Due to its unpretentious care, even beginners in the field of agriculture can grow this crop. It gives high yields.
