Early cabbage Gribovskaya: characteristics, description and photo of the variety

The ancient Egyptians prepared delicious dishes from white cabbage and served them for dessert. The inhabitants of Egypt believed that this plant had powerful healing powers that could cure various diseases. Today, humanity relies more on modern medicines, but the benefits of cabbage are still unquestioned. Russia has its own favorite, time-tested varieties of vegetables. This list can safely include cabbage Number One Gribovsky 147 or simply Gribovskaya, as it is most often called.

General and botanical description: does it belong to the late ones?

“Number one Gribovsky 147” is an early ripening variety of white cabbage with a full vegetative development cycle from 90 to 110 days. White cabbage (one of the subspecies of cabbage) is a biennial plant of the cruciferous family, which is grown in one season as an annual crop. “Number one” in the name means that this was the first cabbage variety bred at the Gribov Research Station, and perhaps in the Soviet Union as a whole.

Features of planting and growing

Slava cabbage is grown in seedlings and without seedlings. In the first case, the seeds are initially planted in small boxes, and in the second - immediately in open ground.

Preparation

Before planting it is recommended:

1. Place the seeds in water at a temperature of +55...+60°C for 15 minutes.
2. Then immerse them in cool water for 1 minute.
3. Prepare a solution: use 12 g of potassium humate per 10 liters of water.
4. Pour the mixture over the seeds and leave for 12 hours.
5. After the specified time, dry the planting material and place it in a cool place.

After a day, the seeds can be planted.

How to plant without seedlings

With the seedless method:

1. Sow the seeds in the soil to a depth of 2 cm.
2. Thin out the seedlings after the formation of 3 leaves.
3. Repeat the procedure after the 6th leaf appears, leaving 60 cm between the sprouts.

Soil requirements

Any soil is suitable for growing Slava cabbage. But it is recommended to choose fertile loamy soil with close groundwater. The recommended soil acidity indicator is ph=6.7-7.4.

Attention! The time interval between planting cabbage on the same piece of land should be at least 3-4 years.

Dates, scheme and rules of planting

To grow seedlings, seeds are sown in boxes in early April. With the seedless method, seeds are planted in open ground in the third ten days of April. In the south they are sown after March 25th.

The scheme for planting seedlings in the soil is 60x60 cm.

In most regions of Russia, the seedling method is used. Landing instructions:

1. Prepare boxes 5-6 cm deep.
2. Pour soil into containers.
3. Compact the soil and treat with a solution of potassium permanganate.
4. After three days, make furrows 1 cm deep at a distance of 3 cm from each other.
5. Sow the seeds.
6. Cover the crops with soil and water.
7. Place the boxes in a warm place until shoots emerge. Temperature range: +18…+20°C.
8. After the sprouts appear, move the boxes to a lighted windowsill. Maintain the temperature within +10…+12°C. Otherwise, the sprouts will quickly stretch upward, which is dangerous due to deformation and death of the plant.
9. After the formation of 5 leaves, plant the seedlings in open ground.

Features of cultivation

Often, when growing cabbage, mistakes are made that lead to the formation of a shoot. To avoid this, take into account the characteristics of the growing season of the crop and do not allow:

• dense planting of seedlings;
• lack of lighting;
• excess moisture.

To obtain a bountiful harvest, plantings are regularly cared for:

1. Watering. Slava cabbage loves moisture, so it is watered about 8 times a month.
2. Loosening. It is performed after each watering to ensure access of oxygen to the root system of the plant.
3. Hilling. The procedure helps the formation of root shoots. As a result, the plant will receive more nutrients.
4. Feeding. Nitrogen fertilizers are applied 15 days after planting. During the formation of heads of cabbage, the plant requires phosphorus and potassium supplements.

Disease and pest control

The most common disease is blackleg. The disease begins to develop in the root system and can occur even at the initial stage of growth, so the seeds are disinfected before planting. During the growth process, the soil is loosened, first sprinkled with ash.

If infection has already occurred, treatment is carried out with the drugs “Fitoflavin”, “Baktofit”, “Trichodermin”.

The source of pests may be a neighboring area. The greatest damage to cabbage is caused by aphids. Massive spread may be contained by cool weather and heavy rains. To combat aphids, dill and parsley are planted next to cabbage. These crops are attractive to ladybugs that feed on aphids. For treatment purposes, the beds are sprayed with tobacco decoction or a vinegar solution (200 ml of substance and 40 g of soap per bucket of water). Popular drugs for getting rid of aphids are “Fitoverm”, “Iskra”, “Aktara”.

Cabbage moths often settle in beds. Signs of damage: damaged and drying leaves, yellow spots, lack of growth, rotting of the plant. In this case, complex treatment is carried out with insecticides “Aktellik”, “Ambush”, “Talcord”.

To reduce the risk of diseases, before planting the soil is treated with lime in a volume of 1 kg per 4 m².

Difficulties in growing

Sometimes vegetable growers are faced with a problem: cabbage heads do not form. The plant actively stretches upward and overgrows with leaves. The reasons may be:

• late sowing;
• dense planting;
• violation of the watering regime;
• excess nitrogen fertilizers during the period of fork formation.

With proper care, white cabbage Slava always produces dense heads of cabbage.

Appearance and photo

The Gribovsky variety has a small semi-raised rosette with a diameter of 50-60 cm. Light green leaves without cuttings, 30 cm wide and 20 cm long, have a smooth surface with a slight waxy coating. The edge of the leaf blade is slightly wavy. Round-shaped forks reach a diameter of 12 to 23 cm, and are white when cut.

Features of care

It is believed that caring for early cabbage in open ground should be more thorough than for other varieties of vegetables. Because such plants are more susceptible to pests and weed development.

The main method of care is fertilizing the soil. This must be done before planting seeds and transplanting seedlings, as well as during the growth of cabbage in open ground.

How to feed early cabbage to form a head of cabbage? For this purpose, humus, ammonium nitrate, wood ash and urea are used. The main thing is to follow the instructions and not to overdo it with fertilizer, then the vegetable will be strong, with a round, dense and large head of cabbage.

In addition to forming the head, gardeners should also know: how to feed early cabbage so that it grows faster?

More often, nitrogen, fluorine, phosphorus are used for this, and humus from chicken or cow droppings, ash and urea are similarly used. Such fertilizers contain special substances that prevent the development of diseases, replenish vitamin deficiencies in cabbage and make it more resilient to external environmental conditions.

Any variety of cabbage needs abundant watering, since liquid is necessary for the juiciness and density of the leaves. Per m2 of area requires 8-13 liters of water. After watering, you should loosen the soil 4-5 cm deep.

Please note! Cabbage should be watered no more than 3 times a week (every 2 days).

It is also very important to keep the seedlings moist so that they grow faster and are strong. At first it is recommended to maintain a distance of 2x2, after 3x3 and 5x5 cm

When planting seedlings in open soil, the distance between holes should be 40 cm, and between rows about 45 cm.

Caring for cabbage also involves timely harvesting of vegetables and pest control. The most common way to prevent diseases is to pollinate plants with ash and water the beds with onion or garlic broth.

Harvesting is carried out depending on the variety of vegetable. Early cabbage is cut first when the head is fully formed, but this must be done before the head becomes overripe and cracks. Because it is impossible to keep such cabbage fresh and the overgrown vegetable tastes less tasty and has harsh leaves.

Characteristics table

Brief characteristics of the crop, history of the variety

White cabbage is the most common and popular member of the cabbage family.
This cross-pollinated biennial plant is a cold-hardy crop. +5°C is sufficient for seed germination, and seedlings planted in a garden bed can easily withstand frosts down to 3-4°C. During the growth process, a temperature of 14-16°C is enough for it; for an adult plant, the optimal temperature will be 18-20°C. Note! In hot weather and low humidity, cabbage greatly slows down its growth.

The crop grows successfully on any soil except sandy soil. It needs soil that is moisture-intensive and fertile. The roots of this vegetable are weak and rather superficial. Most varieties have a noticeable waxy coating on the leaves. According to the timing of ripening, the vegetable is divided into early and late varieties.

Advice! It is recommended to plant cabbage in an open, well-lit place; in such conditions it will grow better and be less susceptible to attacks by pests.

The Gribovsky cabbage variety was added to the State Register back in 1940 and has been loved by summer residents for many decades. We worked on its creation at the Research Institute of Selection and Seed Production of Vegetable Crops. The basis was a German-made hybrid. According to the description, the variety is suitable for cultivation in all regions of Russia.

Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages:

• constant high yield;
• simultaneous maturation of forks;
• the heads of cabbage have a marketable appearance and tolerate transportation well;
• versatility for cooking;
• used for baby and diet food.

Flaws:

• the variety is susceptible to clubroot and vascular bacteriosis;
• When harvested late, the forks are prone to cracking.

Cabbage care

Cabbage requires regular watering and loosening of the soil. It is necessary to remove weeds from the garden bed so that they do not interfere with the development of plants. There are insects in the grass that move onto the cabbage and parasitize the leaves.

Cabbage Gribovskaya 147 has a lot of attractive characteristics, but the culture does not show resistance to powdery mildew or vascular bacteriosis. It is necessary to treat plants with fungicides.

Watering is carried out 2 times a week. Always monitor soil moisture, avoiding waterlogging. Use warm water. To do this, install a barrel in the garden, which is filled with water in advance. It settles and heats up in the sun. If plant development is disrupted, fertilizing is carried out:

• If after 2 weeks the seedlings become weak, then carry out the first feeding. Use urea, 20 g/10 l. 500 ml is poured under each bush. In the future, you can use the drug Siyanie-1 when watering. It improves the immunity of seedlings well;
• the second feeding is introduced when the upper bud begins to grow. Superphosphate and potassium sulfate are used. Some gardeners recommend preparing a solution of weeds with yeast;
• The last fertilizing is introduced during the last watering. 2 weeks before ripening, the soil stops moistening. Boric acid, iron Hilak, and preparations containing manganese are used as fertilizers. Gardeners often choose biostimulants “Zdraven”, Kristalon”, “Bud”.

At the end of May it is recommended to carry out insect treatment. Use boric acid against slugs or Nitrophoska against butterflies and fleas. Both the bush and the soil are sprayed. During the preparation of the beds for planting seedlings, it is recommended to irrigate the soil with Fitoverm.

For fungal diseases, mucous and vascular bacteriosis, use fungicides: Topaz, Quadris or ash solution. After heavy rainfall, cabbage often suffers from powdery mildew. After the rains, it is recommended to treat the plants with Alirin or Fitosporin.

The cabbage variety Gribovsky 147 is harvested when the density of the cabbage reaches the optimal level. It is recommended to cut the head of cabbage, but leave the stem and outer leaves in the ground.

Buds form in the leaf axils and grow into new fruits. They are smaller in size, but retain all the nutrients, just like a large fruit.

Basic growing rules

When is it sown in different regions?

The early ripening variety Gribovsky 147 is grown only by seedlings, so seeds are sown for seedlings:

• in the southern regions - from the end of February to the first days of March;
• in central Russia - from March 20;
• in the Urals and Siberia - in early April.

Planting seedlings

Mushroom cabbage is a variety, not a hybrid, so you can grow it from your own planting material.

Before planting, seeds must be rejected for hollowness and calibrated, leaving grains of medium and large sizes. Rejection can be combined with disinfection. To do this, pour the seeds into a container with a solution of potassium permanganate for 30 minutes.

The seeds remaining on the surface are thrown away, and the rest are prepared for sowing in 3 stages:

1. The grains are immersed in hot water (50°C) for 20 minutes and then in cold water for 5 minutes (to increase resistance to fungal diseases).
2. The seeds are kept for 12 hours in a solution of microelements (any growth stimulant can be used).
3. The seed is placed for a day in the lower zone of the refrigerator (stratified).

Substrate for seedlings can be purchased at the store, but it is easy to prepare yourself. To do this, mix equal parts of turf soil and peat with the addition of 10% wood ash. The resulting mixture is disinfected with a solution of potassium permanganate or calcined in the oven.

The Gribovsky 147 variety has a delicate root system, so it is better to grow seedlings without picking. Seeds are sown in common trays.

Attention!

Trays must be disinfected with a solution of potassium permanganate.

Furrows are made in the soil at a distance of 3 cm and a depth of 1-1.5 cm, into which seeds are placed in increments of 2 cm. The grooves are covered with a thin layer of soil, slightly compacted, watered with warm, settled water from a spray bottle, covered with plastic film and placed in dark warm place (20-22°C).

Care

After the first shoots appear, the film is removed, and the trays with seedlings are placed in a well-lit place with a temperature of 6-8°C for 5-7 days. This promotes the development of the root system and protects the seedlings from being pulled out. Approximately on the 10th day after germination, the seedlings are thinned out, leaving a distance of 5-6 cm between the best seedlings.

The most favorable temperatures for growing seedlings after primary hardening are:

• during the day – 16-18°C;
• at night – 8-10°C.

Water the seedlings with a spray bottle as the soil dries. 10 days before planting seedlings in open ground, they begin to harden them by taking them out into the open air and gradually increasing the time spent in it. Seedlings are considered ready for transplanting when 4-5 true leaves are fully formed.

Moving to open ground

The site for transplantation is selected and prepared in the fall. The place should be sunny, with well-fertilized loamy, non-acidic soil. Also, when choosing a site, crop rotation rules are taken into account. Cabbage grows well after legumes, beets, potatoes, tomatoes and cucumbers.

Important!

In the place where cruciferous crops grew, the variety Gribovsky 147, due to its susceptibility to clubroot, can only be planted after 4 years.

The seedlings are transplanted into open ground from mid-May using the square-cluster method (50x50). In holes made so that the root of the transplanted plant can fit with a lump of earth, the seedling is buried up to the first true leaves. Place a tbsp in each well. a spoonful of ash and a teaspoon of superphosphate. After planting, the soil is compacted and watered with warm water.

Watering, fertilizing and protection from insects

Variety Gribovsky 147 is undemanding to care:

• Watering for the first week is carried out 2 times a week, then reduced to once, and a week before harvest, irrigation is stopped.
• After each watering, the soil is freed from weeds and loosened.
• The first fertilizing is done at the same time with nitroammophoska to increase the green mass on the plant. The second feeding is done during the formation of forks with an aqueous solution (10 liters of water) of superphosphate (25 g) and potassium sulfate (20 g).
• To protect against insect pests, seedlings immediately after transplantation are sprayed with a solution of tobacco dust and wood ash, adding laundry soap to stick to the leaves.

• Belarus.
• Uzbekistan.
• Kazakhstan.
• Georgia.
• Azerbaijan.
• Lithuania.
• Latvia.
• Kyrgyzstan.
• Tajikistan.
• Armenia.
• Turkmenistan.
• Estonia.

Growing technology

Vegetable seedlings must be grown in heated greenhouses.

The process takes place in stages:

1. Soil treatment.
2. Fertilizer application.
3. Planting seedlings.
4. Care: loosening, watering, hilling, feeding, weeding, prevention and control of diseases and pests.
5. Harvesting.
6. Storage.

The most fertile substrate is suitable for early types of cabbage.

The preparatory process starts with autumn digging to a depth of approximately 200 mm.

It involves cultivating the soil in the fall for sowing spring crops in the spring.

With the help of digging you can really regulate the moisture level of the soil.

At the beginning of spring, the soil is plowed.

Depth affects the development of vegetable roots.

The earlier the plowing is done, the higher the yield will be.

In the northern regions, on soils with a low soil layer height, as well as in areas with reduced relief and high moisture levels in the middle zone, the vegetable is grown on ridges that are cut after plowing in the spring.

By feeding exclusively with mineral compounds, it is possible to harvest a high-quality vegetable harvest on fertile floodplains, areas with reduced relief, or on peat areas that have been drained.

On the least fertile soil, it is necessary to add organic matter.

A slightly acidic soil environment is well suited for cabbage.

For full growth of cabbage, it must consume 1 part phosphorus, 2.8 parts nitrogen and 3.4 parts potassium substances.

Fertilizing with manure, the vegetable absorbs in 12 months:

Therefore, deficient potassium and especially nitrogenous substances must be added as minerals during the ovary of the vegetable.

• Bedding

Depending on the climate of the region, the seedlings are sent to the garden during the days of May. Planted in the evening or on a cloudy day.

After the seedlings are planted, they need to be watered.

The distance between the rows should not be less than 600 mm.

The interval between seedlings in a row for early cabbage is approximately 400 mm.

Growing a good harvest of Mushroom cabbage is not very difficult if you follow basic agrotechnical rules. Therefore, a novice gardener, for his No. 1 experience in growing early white cabbage, can try the time-tested variety “First Number Gribovsky 147.”

Care in open areas

Caring for this variety of cabbage involves irrigating, weeding, loosening and adding bait. Irrigate the bushes in the morning with warm water, using up to 3 liters of water per plant. The frequency of irrigation depends on climatic conditions.

On average, a cabbage bed is watered once every 7 days. While the soil is still wet, weeds are removed from it. At the same time, loosening is carried out. If this is not done, the hard crust will not allow air to pass to the roots.

During the entire cultivation period, cabbage is fed twice. The bushes are fed for the first time 25 days after sowing in an open area. An infusion of manure is used as feeding.

For each bush you need to add 2 liters of this compost. The second feeding should occur at the beginning of flowering. This time it is better to add mineral complexes or a solution of superphosphate and potassium nitrate. Each bush requires 3 liters of the drug.
