A universal variety with excellent endurance - Vestri F1 cabbage: reviews and description

Vestri F1 cabbage is a powerful hybrid that produces large forks of 4-8 kg. The vegetable is promising for cultivation in open beds and field conditions.

History of origin

The Vestry originated from wild species that were seen in Western Europe and Africa. It first appeared in Ancient Spain. Local residents called the hybrid “ashchi”. Since cabbage itself required serious care, people kept the secrets of growing it. Subsequently, Vestri spread to the territories of the Roman Empire, Greece and Egypt.

The second homeland of the hybrid is Russia . Our farmers, famous for their great hard work, were sensitive to its cultivation. Cabbage was a valuable everyday product that a common person could afford to consume.

An ancient reference manual of Kievan Rus (“Izbornik Svyatoslav”), which had a separate section, has survived to this day. It indicated the safety and methods of using the hybrid.

Features and description of late Moscow cabbage

The late Moscow cabbage variety, which is discussed in this material, was bred in 1937 by Soviet breeders. Workers at the All-Union Research Institute of Breeding used Pyshkinskaya cabbage as a base. The Moskovskaya late variety was included in the state register of achievements in 1943, and since then it has been grown throughout Russia.

According to the description, late Moscow cabbage has a number of important characteristics:

• a spreading leaf rosette that can exceed 1 m in diameter;
• oval wrinkled leaves of a gray-green color with a waxy coating;
• long petioles and rough veins on the leaves;

Cabbage is characterized by very large heads of cabbage.

• large and dense heads of cabbage, which have a flat-round shape and a white-yellow color;
• a high outer stalk, which reaches 30 cm, and a medium inner one;
• large mass of heads of cabbage, which reaches 5 kg - in favorable conditions it reaches 15 kg;
• high yield parameters - 900 centners of cabbage can be obtained from 1 hectare;
• high yield of commercial products;
• long shelf life.

This variety has two varieties, which differ in indices 9 and 15. They have certain differences.

When is the best time to root a young plant?

Since Vestri is a mid-season cabbage (the period from germination to technical maturity is 85 - 95 days), it should be planted as early as possible . The optimal time is early March.

Preparing seedlings

To begin with, it is best to grow cabbage in separate containers (use peat pots). Depending on the weather, determine the time for planting seedlings in open ground. Seedlings should be planted when they are already quite strong and developed. However, it will be better if you do this earlier, because the plant will have more time to get used to the new place.

Cabbage seedlings grow best in sunny greenhouses , since there is no sub-zero temperature at night. Thus, the seedlings grow healthy and prepared for growing in open ground.

Temperature and soil

Cabbage can withstand cold well, but loves warmth and light. The formed heads can withstand temperatures from -5 to -8°. Temperatures above +25° are considered fatal for Vestry. 15-18 C° is considered optimal.

This variety needs well-warmed and fertile soil with low acidity. The best predecessors are legumes, cucumbers and potatoes.

However, any crop that has received enough fertilizer will do. The seed depth is 1.5-2.5 cm. This is where cabbage seeds should be planted for optimal growth.

Vegetable care

Cabbage planted in open ground should be watered with warm water (18-23°). The root system of the hybrid may suffer from hypothermia. Vestri needs moisture constantly: especially after planting seedlings and after the head of cabbage begins to form. The plant should be watered several times a day. The main thing is not to overdo it. Otherwise, the vegetable will rot.

Important! Hilling up is required after rain or watering!
The process is carried out until the rosettes of the emerging leaves close. The procedure is carried out 2-3 times, it will allow the formation of additional roots.

How to choose white cabbage varieties

Sowing season is in full swing and summer residents have a lot to do. All the window sills are filled with various seedlings that are waiting in the wings. Not many gardeners can find a place to plant cabbage seedlings at home. How to be? You can sow cabbage in a greenhouse, or directly into the ground, but the most popular solution is to purchase ready-made seedlings.

To get a good cabbage harvest, it is important to choose the right variety.

We have already discussed How to choose and buy seedlings correctly; We found out 12 secrets of growing cabbage seedlings, and in the article Cabbage, we not only looked at all the important features of this popular crop, but also talked about how to grow cabbage without seedlings, by sowing its seeds directly into the ground or into a greenhouse.

Fertilizing before rooting in open ground

1. First liquid feeding carried out one and a half weeks after picking seedlings:
   • ammonium nitrate – 2.5 g;

   superphosphate – 4 g;

2. potassium chloride – 1 g.

Dissolve all ingredients in a liter of water.

3. Second liquid feeding , carried out another week: ammonium nitrate - 3-4 g.
   Dissolve in a liter of water.
4. Third liquid feedingwhich is carried out a few days before planting seedlings:
   • potassium chloride – 2 g;

   superphosphate – 8 g;

5. ammonium nitrate – 3 g.

Also dissolve in a liter of water.

During the period of increasing volume, cabbage consumes a large amount of elements from the soil. Therefore, the hybrid needs systematic feeding. Vestries are excellent at absorbing organic matter. It is advisable to add manure for autumn plowing, and in spring it requires nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus. It is also advisable to place manure at a shallow depth.

The best varieties and hybrids of white cabbage

When choosing a variety of white cabbage, first of all, you need to pay attention to the indicated ripening periods, since its commercial properties depend on them - suitability for pickling or long-term storage. What to choose - a cabbage variety or a hybrid? You can focus on this factor: hybrids usually ripen together, and when using a variety, there is usually non-simultaneous ripening of heads of cabbage

Therefore, focus on how you plan to use the cabbages: the entire harvest at once or is it more convenient to gradually harvest the heads of cabbage?

What to choose - a cabbage variety or a hybrid? You can focus on this factor: hybrids usually ripen at the same time, but when using a variety, there is usually non-simultaneous ripening of heads of cabbage. Therefore, be guided by how you plan to use the cabbages: the entire harvest at once or, more conveniently, gradual collection of heads of cabbage.

According to early ripening, cabbage hybrids and varieties are divided into early, mid-ripening and late. Early varieties (from germination to harvesting 90-120 days) are used for culinary processing shortly after harvest, for salads.

Mid-season varieties (121-150 days) are suitable for both cooking and short-term storage, for pickling with quick consumption. Late varieties of cabbage (151-180 days) are intended for pickling and long-term fresh storage.

And now more details.

Harvesting

Since the period from sunrise to technical maturity is 85-95 days, harvesting should be done in July and August. Harvesting cabbage is not at all difficult; The main thing is to know some features, the observance of which will preserve the quality of the vegetable. All you need is a sharp knife or spatula (in case you want to dig up the cabbage along with the root).

1. Lightly cut off the head of cabbage, leaving the lower leaves and the fertile stem (3 to 5 cm long).
2. Do not place cabbages on the ground. It is better to place them on a covered soil or container.
3. If you want to preserve the cabbage, keep the cut heads in the garden. The top leaves should wilt.
4. When digging a hybrid from the soil, thoroughly clean the root system from the soil and tear off the yellowed leaves.
5. Also dry the cabbage with roots on the covered soil.

Important! Do not forget to dig up the remaining roots and root stalks so that various diseases cannot develop in them.

A properly harvested crop will be stored throughout the fall and early winter. Vestri quickly deteriorates when fresh (about 3-4 months), so most often the majority of heads of cabbage are used for pickling. In this case, the vegetable does not lose vitamins and nutrients. If you are more interested in cabbage varieties suitable for long-term fresh storage, read a separate article.

Description of the variety

Vestri is a hybrid variety of white cabbage with a mid-early ripening period. Heads of cabbage reach technical ripeness 85–100 days after planting the seedlings.

This is a fairly powerful, strong plant, the head of which can grow up to 4–8 kg. Cabbage has large, medium-sized, slightly bubbly leaves, collected in a large, raised rosette. The leaves have a pleasant green color and a smooth, waxy surface. The heads of cabbage are round-flat in shape, uniform, dense, with a short inner stalk.

It should be noted that the yield of commercial products is over 95%

The hybrid is characterized by high yields. In one season, 500–750 centners of fruit can be collected from 1 hectare. The maximum yields were recorded in the Smolensk region and amounted to 870 c / 1 ha. Vestri fruits are universal, excellent for fresh consumption, as well as for canning, processing and storing for the winter.
