Characteristics of early cabbage variety Akira f1

Watering

The crop requires regular moisture during the growing season. It is undesirable to allow the leaves to dry out and wilt. They simply check the need for watering - take the soil at a depth of 6 cm and try to roll it into a ball (if it spills, it’s time to water).

The frequency depends on the weather (in hot weather up to 2 times a day, at temperatures below 17-18 degrees once a week).

20 days before harvest, watering is stopped. With excess moisture there is a high risk of cracking and rot.

Pests

Akira F1 cabbage has a number of dangerous pests.

Flea

To combat this, an infusion of tobacco leaves or ash is used.

Cabbage fly or cabbage fly

Insect larvae chew off the roots of the plant, leading to rapid wilting. To cope with flies, insecticides are used (dose 200 ml per 1 bush). The frequency of treatment is 1 time every 7 days.

Butterfly

Caterpillars are controlled with insecticides. An infusion of tomato stems gives a good effect from folk remedies.

Actofit, Akarina, as well as a solution of soap and decoctions of bitter herbs are used against aphids.

Diseases

The variety can be affected by clubroot. The infected plant should be removed.

Growing conditions and care

Cultivation is carried out using standard methods.

Loosening

The beds are loosened with a hoe and at the same time weeds are weeded once every 7-10 days.

Hilling

The procedure is carried out 2 times, small mounds up to 20 cm high are formed. This promotes the growth of new roots and strengthens the root system. It’s better to hill cabbage:

• 7-8 days after planting the seedlings;
• 18-20 days after the first hilling.

Selecting a location

The site is located in a well-lit place. Neutral or slightly alkaline soil with sufficient nutritional content (organics) is suitable for cabbage.

When planting, add the following to the holes:

• a handful of compost, onion peels, peat;
• 1 tbsp each ash.

Top dressing

To ensure a generous and high-quality harvest, several feedings are carried out:

Characteristics Akira F1 - white cabbage, 2500 seeds, KITANO

Cabbage Akira F1 (Akira F1), Kitano seeds (Kitano Seeds), Holland: This tomato hybrid was released thanks to breeders from the Kitano seeds corporation. corporation Ikazido Global Group B.V. (Holland) absorbed the Kitano Seeds Corporation in 2013, which for many years has been breeding new types of field, flower and vegetable crops. Positions of Ikazido Global Group B.V. in the global seed market have become significantly stronger, thanks to the multifaceted experience and developments of the Kitano Seeds company. Being part of a Dutch company, Kitano Seeds maintains its brand and ideal reputation.

Characteristics of the hybrid Akira F1 (Akira F1): The hybrid plant Akira F1 is an ultra early, flexible, reliable hybrid of white cabbage, a compact plant that tolerates very dense plantings. Among the ultra-early cabbage hybrids, Akira F1 is rightfully among the first in terms of productivity. The period from the first mass shoots to the receipt of technically ripe fruits lasts on average from 48 to 52 days. A spherical head is formed, colored in a light green color range. The heads are hard, the average weight is in the range from 1 to 2 kilograms. The stalk is of modest size. Small covering foliage. The heads of this hybrid achieve high commercial quality, tolerate untimely harvesting, and are not critical to overgrowth; they can reach up to 2.5 kilograms without cracking. The plant exhibits high resistance to various types of rot and black skin. The high repeatability of fruits coupled with precise simultaneous ripening of the crop is very pleasing. The yield of marketable products is 91 - 97 percent.

Additional information: There are a couple of main ways to plant cabbage plants: · Sowing seeds - at first glance, a simpler method, although in reality this method carries additional difficulties and amounts of work, in the form of thinning, removing excess plants, and exceeding the permissible planting density. · Cultivation of seedlings, followed by planting them under the open sky, or in one of the types of greenhouse complexes. The second method involves a certain growing technology. Seedlings are grown in pots, “tablets” or boxes. After the appearance of the third or fourth leaf, you can transplant the seedlings into the ground. Pots and tablets are planted together with pots or tablets, and boxes are planted, which adds complexity and the likelihood of damaging the plant during replanting. For such plants, a warm and well-lit place of growth, and regular watering are important, therefore, when planting a plant, you need to be very attentive to the temperature and watering of the plants.

Characteristics of the variety

Early cabbage Akira f1 is one of the most common varieties of white cabbage.
It is best to plant this type of plant early in the season. The ripening period for Akira f1 cabbage seeds is about 50 weeks. The advantages of this variety, according to the description, are:

• simultaneous maturation;
• neat appearance;
• weight from 1 to 2.5 kg;
• good transport tolerance;
• suitability for dense planting;
• resistance to decay;
• high commercial quality.

This variety is grown under agrofibre or in temporary shelters under film.

Application of the vegetable

The following dishes can be prepared from the harvest of the Akira f1 variety:

• cabbage rolls;
• vegetable puree soup.
• braised cabbage;
• various salads.

Early varieties can be pickled for the winter. To do this you need:

• a head of early cabbage;
• hot red pepper;
• carrot;
• vegetable oil.

The filling is prepared by adding acetic acid, sugar and salt to water. Vegetables are washed thoroughly. The carrots and peppers are finely chopped, and the head of cabbage itself is chopped. All ingredients are placed in a jar and poured.

Loosening

All weeds must be removed

You can loosen the soil using a regular hoe or using special tools. All weeds that appear in the place where the vegetable grows must be carefully weeded.

Hilling

To combat harmful plants under a rosette of cabbage leaves, hilling is used. Thanks to this manipulation, the crop develops additional roots and increases resistance to harmful weeds.

Selecting a location

When choosing a site for planting, you need to make sure that the plant will receive enough sunlight. Plants that grow in the shade are more susceptible to disease, and the fruits become less tasty.

Top dressing

To accelerate growth, various fertilizers and mineral fertilizers are used.

• The first fertilizing is carried out a week after planting the seedlings in the ground, when the plants are in their growing season.
• After 2 weeks, do a second feeding, increasing the dose of fertilizer by at least 2 times.

Watering

Early varieties are very sensitive to soil moisture. Dried leaves should not be allowed to appear due to the small amount of moisture in the soil. This is a symptom of the death of the fibrous roots of the plant. Determining the need for watering is very simple: you need to dig up some soil, which is located at a depth of 5-6 cm from the surface. If the earth does not stay in a heap, but crumbles when you try to squeeze it into a lump, water it.

The need for water increases as the culture develops. The more leaves, the more water the plant requires, and the greatest amount of water is needed during head formation. The daily water consumption of one fruit is 10-12 liters.

2-3 weeks before the start of harvesting, watering of plants is completed. Excess moisture during harvest can cause the fruits to crack, resulting in the formation of ulcers.

Japanese Akira cabbage seeds

The Farmer Center online store offers you to order Akira f1 cabbage seeds at a low price. Our range of products includes seed from Dutch, Japanese, American, French and Italian selection, which guarantees its high quality, disease resistance and rich harvests.

Akira is an early Japanese hybrid of white cabbage, suitable for growing indoors and outdoors. Technical ripeness of heads of cabbage occurs 48-52 days after planting the seedlings. The variety combines early ripening, quality, and productivity. These and other qualities are due to the following characteristics:

• compact plant suitable for dense planting;
• a very hard head of cabbage has a spherical shape, a small stalk and a bright green color;
• the weight of the heads of cabbage reaches 2 kg;
• high commercial quality;
• tolerance to blackleg and rot;
• simultaneous ripening of heads of cabbage;
• the yield of commercial products is 90 percent or more.

Akira cabbage has the highest yield among early varieties.

Care instructions

The seedlings are hardened at a temperature not lower than +11 degrees a week after picking. The more light the seedlings receive and the earlier they are exposed to moderately low temperatures, the stronger they will be and will not overgrow. To prevent rot and black leg, you can additionally treat it with trichodermin and rhizoplane.

Loosening and hilling are important components of crop care and cultivation. Loosening should be done after watering without touching the root system. The cabbage is earthed up for the first time two weeks after planting in the ridge.

Hilling helps strengthen the thin stem, prevents deformation of the stem, and strengthens the roots. This is an excellent prevention of cabbage diseases.

Akira and Misato conquer Transcarpathia!

MAGAZINE “THE REAL OWNER” No. 11, 2012

In our area, farmers mainly specialize in growing white cabbage. I have been selling seeds for many years and am well aware of market trends and hybrids that are successful in our conditions. For me, it is important to communicate with customers, discuss growing methods, and be able to see plants in different phases of development in order to give recommendations on their use. I want to keep abreast of what is happening and therefore I visit farmers, look at products, and give advice depending on specific conditions and opportunities.

The selection of a hybrid is very important, since we are talking about early cabbage. So there is no room for error here, the days are counting. The current situation is that for greenhouses, the most successful white cabbage this season was Misato F1. As for open ground, Akira F1 cabbage is the leader here. I will tell you more about these hybrids and justify the choice of Transcarpathian farmers.

Early ripeness is the main trump card of Misato F1 cabbage. Ripening 7 or even 10 days earlier than the recognized leaders immediately brought this cabbage to first place in Transcarpathia. It only takes 45 days to ripen. And being first is the most important thing for early products. Compact, with a small leaf apparatus, as if specially created for growing in film greenhouses. You can safely plant a larger number of plants compared to other hybrids, as it is excellent for dense plantings. This saves space and energy costs. And most importantly, we get a larger harvest from the same area!

I was pleased with its ability to stand on the root without cracking, and its resistance to rotting of the head of cabbage. Disease resistance is high, and this preserves a significant part of the crop, which means it brings profit to the farmer. The presentation meets the most demanding criteria: the head is round, well-formed, one to one, dense, compact, weighing 1.0-1.5 kg, which is the standard for early cabbage. The color of the head of cabbage is green, in cross section it is white.

Of particular note is the massive, uniform maturation and high uniformity. This allows you to quickly and profitably sell cabbage. Buyers are satisfied with the taste of this cabbage - sweet, crispy, juicy, tasty. Transportability is excellent, without loss of product quality. If it needs to be transported, it will look like it was just cut for a long time. It sells out just fine! Pass!

Early cabbage Akira F1 has settled in the forefront among hybrids for growing in open ground. This is a proven, reliable hybrid, optimal for our climatic conditions. The key advantage is stability. Every year, weather conditions are different and often cause losses for farmers. But this is such a flexible hybrid that it adapts to any weather conditions and gives stable results. It always forms dense, heavy heads of cabbage of the same size.

This cabbage takes about 50 days to ripen. We add here the commercial quality of heads of cabbage, high productivity and mass ripening, and we get cabbage No. 1 for open ground. The hybrid is stable, proven, the head is beautiful, ripens early, but manages to gain a marketable weight of 1-1.2 kg, is unpretentious in cultivation, and is not demanding on agricultural technology.

It tolerates stressful conditions and spring temperature changes well and gives the expected result. This is the predicted cabbage. And this is important for our unstable growing conditions. An important advantage is also its ability to stand on the root for a long time, without cracking or rotting. Farmers and buyers know this cabbage by name!

Lately, growing cauliflower has become popular and profitable. The choice of good cauliflower hybrids has always been limited; they used mainly varieties from which they rarely got the expected results. This is a small segment of the market, but there is a growth trend. Cauliflower is an alternative to white cabbage due to its higher price. New hybrids have appeared on the market for growing in greenhouses, under arcs and in open ground.

In Transcarpathia, cauliflower KS 22 F1 showed excellent results. Unpretentious to grow. No whims. Ripens in 80-85 days. Compact, closed and heavy heads of cabbage. There were no problems with growing, the plants have good growth vigor and disease resistance, the heads retain their marketable appearance for a long time. The covering leaves are bright green and cover the head well. Average weight 1.5-2.5 kg. The heads are very dense. An important feature of this hybrid is to protect the head from frost with covering leaves. This cabbage forms attractive marketable heads with snow-white inflorescences. A very successful hybrid for the second rotation! Since the acquaintance with this cauliflower turned out to be very successful for our farmers, many of them decided to expand the area under this crop this season and try to grow several hybrids at once in order to assess the potential and select the most successful and productive ones for themselves. The cauliflower segment is growing and there is a need for good hybrids. As you can see, the cabbage we grew this season fully satisfies all market requirements, both white and cauliflower. At the end of the season, the described hybrids are leaders in the cabbage group in Transcarpathia.

How to successfully grow the earliest cabbage

Early cabbage is a real find: it ripens very quickly, and there are no problems with storage - the juicy young crop “flies away” with a bang soon after harvesting!

• Family: cabbage
• Vegetation: for early varieties - 70-130 days, medium - 125-175, late - 153-245 days
• Crop rotation - good predecessors - cucumbers and other pumpkins, onions, tomatoes, potatoes, legumes, beets, perennial herbs; bad - other cruciferous vegetables
• Head of cabbage: for early cabbage - weighing 400-500 g; in late varieties - 10-12 kg or more

I know a lot about early cabbage: I have been growing it for a long time and a lot - I plant at least 1 hectare with it every year. Of the varieties I prefer, hybrid ones:

Sowing early cabbage

We sow seeds for seedlings in early February. We sow in cassettes with ready-made soil for cabbage (we spill it well) - one seed in each.

We place the trays in a film greenhouse on tables. Since it is still cold, we heat the greenhouse regularly, even at night I come to check the temperature. At first we try to keep it at a level of +25...+30 degrees, or at least not lower it below +20. And with the emergence of seedlings (4 days after sowing), we lower the temperature for a week to + 10 degrees so that the sprouts do not stretch.

Seedling growing method

Seeds of early varieties, collected personally from the previous harvest, undergo disinfection and growth stimulation before planting - first they are kept in a manganese solution, then exposed to contrasting temperatures. After drying, the material is considered ready for planting.

Growing cabbage seedlings at home involves difficulties maintaining temperature conditions and access to fresh air, so it is better to move the boxes, immediately after the first greens hatch, to a closed greenhouse or to a glassed-in balcony. The thermometer readings during the day are regulated within 18-21 C, but at night the thermometer should not rise above 8 C (optimally 6-7 C), otherwise the grown seedlings will all go into a long stem.

With the appearance of the first true leaf, night and day temperatures are almost equal:

• 16-18 C - per day;
• 14-15 C - at night.

From the same period, the upper (window) balcony or greenhouse frame can be opened slightly for 1-2 hours a day, providing a slight draft. For plants in a greenhouse, weekly preventive spraying with a manganese solution (pale) begins at this time. For balcony cabbage seedlings of early varieties, the procedure is carried out twice during the entire “nursery” period.

On days 12-14 from the appearance of sprouts, cabbage seedlings are planted in peat containers, cutting the central root rod by 1/3 of its length before planting.

Caring for early cabbage

Since the ground is still wet when planting so early, we start watering the cabbage only when the heads begin to set, and along the spunbond. And after it is removed (usually May 9-10) - once every 2-3 days, and then only if there is no rain.

Before the first manual weeding, remove the spunbond and feed the cabbage with ammophos or urea (200-250 kg per 1 ha). We spray it with Nurel D against pests and cover it again with spunbond.

To prevent rot and other diseases, we treat once (according to the instructions) with the systemic fungicide Topsin-M, which, by the way, can be combined with spraying against pests by combining solutions of both drugs and adding an adhesive.

We carry out the second weeding with a selective herbicide, the third - again by hand, loosening the soil.

If pests reappear closer to harvest, we treat the plants with any biological product.

According to the lunar calendar, favorable days for sowing cabbage seeds are March 26-27 and April 4-5; planting on the garden bed - April 17-19, May 2-3, 11, 19-21

We usually cut off the heads of cabbage by May 25th. After harvesting, we plow the plot together with the stumps and next year, to maintain crop rotation, we sow grain there.

TIP: To prevent cabbage from clubroot, plant the plants in their original place no earlier than after 4 years.
