The hybrid is also demanding on certain growing conditions. In order for a plant to form a powerful root system, it is necessary to carry out a number of actions: proper watering, hilling, loosening and weeding. Cabbage must be fed with mineral fertilizers. Provide a sunny, unshaded area that is well ventilated. Seedlings should not be allowed to be pulled out.

Sometimes there is a slight infection by mucous bacteriosis.

Secrets of cultivation

When growing Krautman F1 cabbage, the seedling method is used. Sowing seeds for seedlings can be done in early April. They should be deepened into the ground by 0.5-1 cm. Shoots may appear as early as 5-6 days. The plant needs to be planted in open ground at the end of May, usually on the 40-45th day. By this time, the seedlings have several true leaves. The best scheme for growing cabbage is 50×50. Before transferring seedlings to a permanent place, it is necessary to carry out hardening procedures. Leave plants outside during the day.

Pros and cons of Crumont cabbage

To understand the advantages of a hybrid over other varieties of cabbage, you should group its advantages and note its disadvantages.

The advantages of Krumont F1 are:

• excellent taste;
• rich nutritional composition;
• alignment, compactness and density of heads;
• high immunity to diseases;
• ability for long-term storage (6-7 months);
• no cracking of fruits;
• versatility of use;
• the possibility of industrial cultivation and the use of harvesting equipment;
• ease of care.

Disadvantages of the variety:

• the presence of a bitter aftertaste, which disappears 2-3 months after harvesting from the field;
• small volume of heads for a late-ripening variety.

The first disadvantage is due to the biological specifics of the hybrid, but vegetable growers do not always consider it a disadvantage.

Secrets of cultivation

When growing Krautman F1 cabbage, the seedling method is used. Sowing seeds for seedlings can be done in early April. They should be deepened into the ground by 0.5-1 cm. Shoots may appear as early as 5-6 days. The plant needs to be planted in open ground at the end of May, usually on the 40-45th day. By this time, the seedlings have several true leaves.

The best scheme for growing cabbage is 50×50. Before transferring seedlings to a permanent place, it is necessary to carry out hardening procedures. Leave plants outside during the day. The seedlings also need to be fed. Apply the first fertilizing when two leaves appear, the second immediately before planting.

The variety produces a good harvest on loamy, fertile soils. Cabbage cannot be cultivated in the same areas for another 3 years. The best predecessors are legumes and pumpkins.

Planting and caring for Crumont cabbage

It is recommended to grow the variety in seedlings. In this case, late-ripening cabbage has time to form heads even in regions with a cool climate. Sowing seeds should begin in February in more southern areas and in April in the north.

The germination rate of cabbage is high (up to 90%). The first shoots appear within a week. Before germination, the room temperature should be within + 20-24 °C. Then the value is reduced to + 15-18 °C (daytime) and + 8-10 °C (nighttime). During the period before planting in open ground, you need to monitor the quality of watering and feed the seedlings once with a mineral complex.

Proper care of seedlings will allow you to obtain healthy planting material

The planting date for sowing is the end of April or the end of May. Seedlings should have 2-3 pairs of leaves. Planting pattern of the variety is 50 x 60 cm, depth 5 cm.

Crumont cabbage does not require special growing conditions. All events are standard:

1. Watering. At least 1 time every 2-3 days for adult plants. Young seedlings need to be watered every day. Water – warm, volume of at least 3 liters per plant. The most abundant watering is needed in the head setting phase; before harvesting, it is stopped 14 days before the due date.
2. Feeding. Two meals a day per season is enough. The first time you need to add organic matter 20 days after planting in open ground. 2 kg of humus per 1 square meter is enough. m, the second time you need minerals - superphosphate (20 mg), potassium nitrate (30 mg). They are diluted in 10 liters of water and 2 liters of solution are poured under each plant.

   Fertilizing the Crumont variety is necessary to increase shelf life

3. Weeding. Be sure to do this after watering or rain. It is necessary to remove all weeds so that they do not interfere with the development of cabbage seedlings.
4. Hilling. Necessary to stimulate the growth of additional roots. The first hilling should be done 3 weeks after transplanting into open ground, the second – after 14 days.
5. Loosening. This event allows you to increase the access of air and nutritional components to the cabbage root system. It is important to carry out the procedure for the first time after the seedlings have taken root, then once a week.

Important! The first loosening should be no deeper than 5 cm, repeated – up to 10 cm.

Characteristics of Kolobok cabbage

The hybrid cabbage variety “Kolobok f1” was created for cultivation in open areas; cultivation in closed structures is allowed. The culture is frost-resistant, does not stop growing at an air temperature of +180 C, and feels comfortable at the seedling stage at +160 C and medium light.

Attention! Vegetable crops do not require additional agrotechnical practices other than intensive watering and soil composition appropriate to the variety

Productivity and fruiting

The Kolobok cabbage variety, according to vegetable growers, is a high-yielding variety; with proper care (watering, fertilizing, preventing infections) it produces a stable harvest. The amount of fruiting and the size of the head of cabbage are not affected by differences in temperature between night and day. Vegetation does not stop with an excess of ultraviolet radiation or with its deficiency. The only condition is constant watering before sunrise and after sunset.

Cabbage “Kolobok” is a late variety; the forks reach biological maturity in the second half of October. The collection is carried out before the onset of frost. The culture is compact, does not grow in width, three plants are planted per 1 m2. The average weight of the fruit is 4 kg; if agricultural practices are followed, 12 kg are harvested from 1 m2.

Application of Kolobok cabbage

The Kolobok variety was created for industrial production. Due to its high yield, it is a favorite in farming areas. Cabbage is grown in home gardens and summer cottages. The fruits are universally used and can be stored for up to six months without losing their biological or taste value. Vegetables are well transported to retail outlets for sale and agro-industrial facilities for processing. Cabbage is suitable for pickling for the winter and is eaten fresh in salads.

Resistance to diseases and pests

During the period of experimental cultivation of the hybrid, its immunity was fully adapted to all kinds of infections. The variety is genetically resistant to: all types of rot, Alternaria blight, necrosis, fusarium blight. The cabbage cutworm poses a threat to the crop. The butterfly is capable of laying up to 2 thousand eggs. The caterpillars destroy the leaves, then the forks; if the cabbage is not treated, the entire crop will die. Slugs and aphids rarely parasitize the Kolobok cabbage variety.

Advantages and disadvantages of the variety

Mass cultivation of the plant in large volumes is the best indicator of the quality of the Kolobok variety cabbage. The undeniable advantages of vegetable crops:

• storage duration, at a temperature not exceeding +60 C in a well-ventilated, unlit area with minimal humidity. The variety lasts for more than six months;
• dense heads of cabbage are not prone to cracking;
• aesthetic presentation;
• good transportability;
• high-yielding cabbage "Kolobok" is a frost-resistant crop;
• has a good taste, due to the sufficient concentration of glucose there is no bitterness;
• resistant to diseases and most parasites.

A number of disadvantages are noted: the variety is demanding when it comes to watering, lack of moisture affects the density and weight of the fork, and the growing season is suspended. When planting in a permanent place, it is recommended to take into account the composition of the soil.

Advice! Suitable soils for normal vegetable growth are loamy with a slightly acidic reaction.

Soil with good water-holding capacity and a high concentration of organic matter is preferred.

Diseases and pests

The variety was bred with built-in resistance to common crop diseases. Crumont is not affected by clubroot, necrosis (during storage), fusarium, or bacteriosis. If you do preventive spraying, you won’t have to treat the cabbage. Parasites cause more trouble. Vegetable growers have to contend with butterflies, aphids and flea beetles. Copper-containing preparations, for example, Oxychom, work well against aphids. 50 mg of the substance per 10 liters of water is enough, then spray the cabbage after 10 days. The flea disappears after treatment with a solution of potassium permanganate (10 liters of water + 2 mg of powder). Colloidal salt (20 mg per 10 l) can be used against butterflies. Repeated spraying is needed every 7-10 days.

Parasites and diseases

The hybrid is resistant to common diseases - necrosis, bacteriosis, fusarium and even clubroot. For prevention, it is enough to regulate watering, do not overwater the cabbage, observe crop rotation and disinfect the soil before planting.

Common pests include butterflies, cruciferous flea beetles and aphids. Fungicides with copper, for example Oxyx, help against aphids. They also help in preventing fungi. The area is treated against fleas with a 2% solution of potassium permanganate, and against butterflies and their caterpillars - with a solution of colloidal salt.
