Large-fruited cabbage Megaton. Features of planting and care

Description of the hybrid variety

Appearance of cabbage:

• Leaves. Large, semi-raised, collected in horizontal or slightly raised rosettes. The leaves are oval, waxy, wrinkled. Color – light green. The edges are slightly concave and wavy. The inner leaves are snow-white.
• Heads of cabbage. Large size, dense, round.
• Kocheryzhka. Small size. Length – up to 14-15 cm.

Megaton cabbage seeds

To grow large heads of cabbage, you need to apply a sufficient amount of mineral fertilizers, otherwise the harvest will not please you with its gigantic size

The heads of cabbage grow large, dense, round in shape

Seedless method

Planting this type of white cabbage without seedlings is carried out only in the southern regions of Russia.

The procedure occurs in several stages:

• in early May the area is loosened;
• apply fertilizers;
• pour hot potassium permanganate;
• sow seeds (5 pieces per hole);
• the seedlings are covered with film, periodically opening them for ventilation;
• after the first leaf appears, water generously;
• thin out the planting density (leaving 2 seedlings);
• after 4 leaves, thin the seedlings a second time.

Growing without seedlings promotes the growth of strong, weather-resistant vegetable crops.

Varietal characteristics

Characteristics of Megaton cabbage:

• Mid-season variety. From emergence to harvest - 4.5-5.5 months (136-168 days).
• The weight of heads of cabbage at the stage of technical ripeness is 3.5-4 kg. If you create the most favorable conditions for cabbage, you can grow heads weighing 12-15 kg.
• Heads of cabbage contain 3.9-4.9% sugar. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) – up to 43.5 mg, proteins – 3%, dry matter – 8-8.8%.
• The taste characteristics are high. The leaves are juicy, crispy, slightly sweet, with a pleasant taste and smell.
• Purpose: fermentation and salting.
• Resistant to clubroot, fusarium wilt, and gray rot.
• Productivity – 650-850 centners per 1 ha, 9 kg per 1 sq. m.

Positive and negative aspects of the variety

It has a number of advantages, thanks to which it has become one of the main cabbage varieties cultivated in Russia. The advantages of the variety include:

• A small poker.
• In good conditions, heads of cabbage can be grown weighing up to 15 kg.
• The variety is not afraid of frost and easily adapts to any climatic conditions. Thanks to this, Megaton became very fond of the residents of the northern regions of the country.
• The variety is not afraid of mechanical stress, and therefore is easily transported over long distances.
• Megaton is characterized by excellent taste.
• Cabbage has pretty good immunity. Megaton is not afraid of diseases such as gray rot, fusarium wilt and clubroot.

However, despite such a large number of advantages, the hybrid also has its disadvantages. First of all, this is the shelf life. If we talk about the Aggressor F1 variety, it can be stored for up to 6 months (sometimes longer). But Megaton cannot boast of such results. The maximum shelf life of this hybrid is 3 months. However, many people store cabbage for no more than 2 months.

We recommend reading: “Description of cabbage variety Aggressor F1”

In addition, there is another significant drawback - the rigidity of the leaves. This variety is great for pickling or processing, but is not ideal for making fresh salads.

Advantages and disadvantages of the variety

Advantages of the Megaton variety:

• High yield.
• Great taste.
• There is no tendency for heads of cabbage to crack due to temperature changes.
• Tolerates transportation well.
• Resistant to many cabbage diseases.

Megaton has few disadvantages:

• Short-term storage – from 1 to 3 months.
• Freshly harvested heads of cabbage have harsh leaves.
• It is necessary to carefully select the site for planting - the hybrid needs moderate partial shade. Cabbage does not grow well in direct sun.

Advantages of the variety

The main advantages of Megaton cabbage include:

1. good taste of assembled forks;
2. high productivity;
3. resistance to most diseases; forks are also rarely attacked by pests;
4. unfavorable weather conditions do not affect the ripening of forks and do not lead to their cracking;
5. the harvested crop tolerates transportation well;
6. The shelf life of heads of cabbage is more than 2.5 months;
7. the possibility of using Megaton cabbage for pickling and pickling.

But this cabbage hybrid also has a number of disadvantages that should be recalled:

1. for several days after cutting, the foliage of the forks is harsh;
2. since cabbage leaves contain a large amount of sugars, they are not used for preparing salads or cabbage rolls;
3. The shelf life of the crop, according to some summer residents, is not too long.

Preparing for landing

Before planting, prepare the site and seed material. Soil preparation begins in the fall:

• The soil is being dug up. Remove remnants of weeds and rhizomes found in the soil.
• Apply organic fertilizers before frost. It is best to add humus or rotted manure - this organic matter perfectly stimulates the growth of heads of cabbage. The norm is 10-12 kg per 1 sq. m.
• Apply mineral fertilizers - 30 g per 1 sq. m.
• In the spring, the soil is dug up again, adding urea and potassium sulfate - 40 g per 1 sq. m. m.

In soils with high acidity, yields drop by 20-30%. Lime, wood ash, and dolomite flour are added to acidic soils.

Megaton is planted with seedlings or seeds in open ground. Seed material is prepared for sowing as follows:

• Hardening. Seeds are immersed in warm water (50-55°C) for 20 minutes. Immerse in cool water for 5 minutes.
• Growth stimulation. Immerse for 12 hours in special growth stimulants. The most popular stimulants are Epin and Zircon. Or you can prepare a solution of nitrophoska - take 1 tsp per 1 liter of water. The seeds treated in the stimulator are washed and slightly dried.

Bedding

Before planting in open ground, seedlings should be tall (15 to 20 cm), with a thick stem and have 4 to 6 leaves. Megaton cabbage is planted around the end of May. Although the timing is approximate, it all depends on the climatic conditions of the region.

Attention! Strong seedlings of Megaton cabbage can withstand night frosts down to -3 degrees.

The beds for planting cabbage of the Megaton variety are prepared in the fall, choosing an open sunny place for this. It is important to remember that cabbage is not grown on the same beds where cruciferous vegetables grew. It is best to plant cabbage after legumes, carrots, and onions. In autumn, the ridges are cleared of plant debris, rotted manure is added (mineral fertilizers can be used) and dug up.

In spring, you don’t have to dig up the soil, but immediately make holes at a distance between plants of at least 50-60 cm. For ease of care, Megaton cabbage, according to the description of the variety, is planted in a two-row manner, as in the photo below.

Comment! The holes are filled with hot water with potassium permanganate (from the black leg) and a handful of wood ash is added.

The plants are removed from the ground and carefully inserted into the hole, directing the roots straight down. When covering seedlings with soil, they focus on the first true leaf. It should rise above the surface. Immediately after planting, water the cabbage.

Site selection, soil and conditions

How to choose a site:

• The soil. Well-water- and breathable soils are needed. Acidic soils are not suitable - they can provoke clubroot. The best options are chernozems and cultivated loams. Areas that are flooded after precipitation are not suitable - Megaton does not like soils that are too wet.
• Lighting. This hybrid does not tolerate direct sunlight. On the other hand, constant shading is also harmful. To create ideal conditions for cabbage, it is recommended to plant sunflowers or corn between the rows. Planting frequency: every 3-4 rows of cabbage. Megaton grows best in partial shade. It cannot be planted near evergreen bushes and trees - due to a lack of lighting, the yield will decrease.
• Predecessors. Suitable areas are those where cabbage and other cruciferous vegetables - radishes, radishes, turnips, etc. - have not been grown for at least 3-4 years. It is best to plant Megaton after potatoes and tomatoes. It is recommended to change the growing location every year - this reduces the risk of the hybrid contracting cabbage diseases.

Non-seedling planting

When planting seeds directly in open ground, cabbage roots grow deeper than when growing seedlings. This feature increases resistance to drought, but will delay ripening by about 2-3 weeks. Growing seeds by sowing in the ground is easier than the seedling method, but does not guarantee 100% germination.

Features of seedless cultivation:

• Seeds are sown in late April-early May. Exact dates vary by region. Sow the seeds in heated soil, and the temperature outside should be +15°C. In cold soil, seeds do not germinate for a long time; they swell at a temperature of 5°C. The higher the temperature, the faster the seeds will hatch - at 20°C the seeds hatch in 4-5 days, at 10°C - after 2 weeks.
• Holes are made in the ground at intervals of 40-45 cm. The depth of the holes is 3-4 cm. 0.5 liters of water are poured into them.
• The seeds are planted to a depth of 1 cm. 3-4 seeds are placed in one hole. The distance between the rows is 60-70 cm. The seeds are sprinkled with soil on top.
• Sprinkle the crops with sawdust or humus to prevent the formation of a crust that will interfere with the development of seedlings.
• The crops are covered with film - it is pulled over the arcs. You can also use cut plastic bottles and cans for insulation. When the temperature outside rises, the shelter is removed for ventilation. Before the seedlings appear, the soil is moistened with a sprinkler.
• Thinning of seedlings is carried out after the formation of two leaves - 2 sprouts are left. When 3 leaves appear, thin out the plantings again, leaving only one sprout.

Harvesting, terms and storage conditions

The timing of harvest is influenced by the planting method. If cabbage was grown without seedlings, then from the moment of sowing to full ripening it takes from 136 to 168 days. The seedling method reduces the time to 105 days from the moment of planting the seedlings. Megaton is not afraid of temperatures dropping to -6 degrees. But frosts followed by thaws negatively affect the quality of storage. Depending on the climate, the harvest is harvested at the end of September or October.

Cut cabbage should be immediately removed to storage areas. Heads of cabbage are stored in a dry cellar or basement at a temperature of 0 to +4 degrees. Forks with intact stems and no signs of rot are selected for storage. Stacked on shelves with the stalk facing up. For longer storage, it is better to salt Megaton.

Planting seedlings

Growing seedlings lasts 115 days. This method requires a lot of work - you need to grow seedlings, pick them and transplant them into open ground.

How to transplant cabbage seedlings of the Megaton variety into open ground, see the video below:

How to sow seeds for seedlings?

Seeds for cabbage seedlings should be sown from mid-March to the third ten days of April. They grow seedlings in separate glasses - then they skip the picking stage. If seedlings are grown in boxes, after a certain time they have to be planted in pots.

Seeds are prepared for sowing in the usual way - hardened and disinfected. Sowing order:

• The seeds are sown in containers filled with substrate - you can buy it or prepare it yourself. The soil mixture is prepared by mixing humus, sand and turf soil in equal parts. The resulting mixture is disinfected with Fitosporin.
• Place two or three seeds in one glass. Seeds are sown in a row at intervals of 1 cm - this is when sowing in boxes. Between rows - 3 cm.
• Cover with soil, moisten with a spray bottle and cover with film. Until the shoots appear, the container with the crops is kept warm - at a temperature of +20-25°C.
• After 4-5 days, sprouts appear. If seedlings are grown in boxes, the seedlings are thinned out, increasing the gaps between neighboring seedlings to 2 cm. If seedlings are grown in glasses, only one sprout is left - the healthiest and strongest is chosen.
• The seedlings are watered with warm water as soon as the top layer dries.
• Thinned seedlings are placed in a room or greenhouse - during the day the temperature there should be maintained at +18...+20°C, at night - +12...+15°C. Temperature changes are necessary to harden seedlings.
• If necessary, turn on additional lighting to extend daylight hours. With a lack of light, seedlings stretch out and weaken.

It is recommended to sow seeds for seedlings several times - so that the newly growing seedlings can replace those that cannot take root in the beds.

How to pick seedlings?

Picking is carried out after the appearance of the third true leaf. Seedlings from the box are transplanted into glasses. But first the soil is watered to make it easier to remove them. Seedlings are planted in pots, buried to the level of cotyledon leaves.

How to feed the seedlings?

While the seedlings are growing, until they are transplanted into open ground, fertilizing is carried out three times.

Frequency and composition of fertilizers for seedlings:

How to harden seedlings?

A week before planting, seedlings are subjected to temperature tests:

• Ventilate periodically.
• The seedlings are taken outside, and the duration of the “walks” is gradually increased. After hardening, cabbage better withstands sudden cold snaps.

How to transplant seedlings?

Seedlings are planted on a cloudy day to prevent wilting. The procedure for planting seedlings in the ground:

• Seedlings are ready for transplanting at the age of 45-50 days. They should have three pairs of true leaves, their length should reach 10-12 cm.
• Cabbage is planted in prepared and fertilized beds. Mineral fertilizers are placed in the recesses in the appropriate dosage.
• The root system is dipped in mullein mash.
• The seedlings are carefully placed in the holes, deepening them down to the first leaf - it is forbidden to sprinkle it with soil. Planting pattern: 45x60 cm. Between neighboring plants - 45 cm, row spacing - 60 cm.

Immediately after planting, it is advisable to cover the seedlings with film - it will protect the young plants from the bright daytime sun and cold night temperatures. Strong seedlings quickly take root and adapt to a new location.

Growing seedlings

To grow cabbage of this variety in the beds, you need to know some subtleties. The key to a wonderful harvest is strong, strong seedlings, so experienced gardeners grow seedlings themselves.

How to grow seedlings

In order not to be late and not to freeze the seeds, you should know when to sow cabbage for seedlings. It is better to plant seeds in the first third of March.

Planting pattern:

• you should select sufficiently deep boxes for seedlings, fill them with soil and plant the seeds in a groove 1.5 cm deep;
• it is optimal to maintain a distance between rows of 6-7 cm;
• The distance between the seeds is 5-6 cm, so there will be enough space for green shoots before picking.

Next, you should water and care for the seedlings as you would any other plants.

Important! The box with the planted seeds must be placed in a sunny place; this crop loves sunlight. In a shaded place, the seedlings will stretch out and weaken.

When the young cabbage produces 3-4 leaves, it can be picked (planted in larger boxes or separate pots).

Some people ignore this stage, however, by transplanting young plants into a looser pot, the plant is given the opportunity to grow and become stronger faster. This reduces the time for cabbage to ripen in the garden.

Picking

This simple procedure includes the following steps:

1. It is enough to pry the plant under the root with a fork, cut the root by a third (this is necessary so that the root system forms faster and better), and plant the seedlings in a larger pot.
2. Water the seedlings.
3. Sprinkle the ground with ash to protect the plant from the cruciferous flea beetle.

In April, if the seedling box was at home, it can be taken to the greenhouse.

Caring for cabbage in open ground

Megaton cabbage is cared for throughout the growing season. It needs regular watering, hilling and loosening.

Watering

How to water Megaton:

• Water temperature is +18-22°C.
• Water the seedlings in the morning or evening.
• If it rains, stop watering until the soil dries out.
• At first, seedlings are watered once every 2-3 days - in hot weather. In cloudy weather, watering is reduced to once every 5-6 days.
• Watering is stopped 2-3 weeks before cutting the heads of cabbage.

5-6 hours after watering, the soil is loosened - this prevents the appearance of a thick crust, impermeable to air and water. Loosen the soil to a depth of 5-6 cm so as not to touch the roots.

Watering methods:

• Furrows. The most convenient method of watering. Furrows 10-12 cm deep are made between rows. This method is effective only on a surface that does not have a slope.
• Sprinkling. Water with a watering can or hose with a sprayer attached. This option is good for sloping terrain.
• Drip irrigation system. Water is supplied through plastic tubes laid along the rows. The method is applicable to terrains of any complexity; it allows you to use water as economically as possible. The downside is the cost of organizing an irrigation system.

Hilling

This agricultural technique is necessary to strengthen the roots and increase yield. 20-25 days after planting - when small forks form, the soil is raked up to the plant. After 15-20 days, the cabbage is hilled again.

Hilling is best done after rain or watering. But first, the leaves lying on the ground are removed. A thin layer of wood ash is sprinkled between the rows.

Top dressing

After the seedlings are planted in the ground, they are fertilized three times - for high yields and improved taste of the heads of cabbage.

Cabbage pests and measures to combat them:

Advice from experienced gardeners:

• To prevent damage to cabbage roots by the cabbage fly, thin non-woven material is placed under the plants.
• When butterflies appear, the cabbage is covered with non-woven material on top.
• When caterpillars appear on cabbage leaves, they must be collected immediately - before the leaves are rolled into heads. If you are late, it will no longer be possible to remove pests from the heads of cabbage.
• Insect pests of cabbage do not like the presence of mint, wormwood, and marigolds. They are planted near cabbage beds.
• Pests cannot tolerate the smell of vinegar. Dissolve 1 tbsp in a bucket of water. l vinegar 70%. Spray cabbage with this solution.
• Ants, mole crickets, flies and slugs can be repelled with ammonia.

Reviews from gardeners

Everyone who grew Megaton cabbage highly appreciated this variety for its high yield and good presentation. In terms of taste and other important characteristics, Megaton is superior to many varieties of cabbage. It's juicy and sweet. Ideal for fermentation, soups and borscht. It makes delicious, juicy salads and a wonderful side dish.

I also planted Megaton and took it for testing. The result was pleasing; the forks were large, 9–10 kg, dense, and stored well in a suspended state in the cellar. Good variety.

We've been planting Megaton for many years. The cost of seeds is higher than some varieties, but it is fully justified. Good germination, large dense heads of cabbage. The largest one weighed 10 kg. All kinds of midges, aphids, and caterpillars love it. I spray the garlic arrows with infusion: about 0.5 liters per 10 liters of water. I always plant in deep grooves so that moisture is retained under the leaves in the heat. I remove the heads of cabbage with the first snow and salt them. We tried storing it in the cellar, it’s cool and dry there. The last head of cabbage was taken out in March. The top leaves were rotted by 20 percent, but everything was fine inside. By the way, it’s also good for fresh salads, maybe a little harsh, but if you mash it well, it’s fine.

There is no better Megaton! I really like the Megaton cabbage of Dutch selection and there are almost no stalks, medium-late ripening, well stored (still as good as new), the heads of cabbage are large - 10 kg and do not crack. The leaves of this variety of cabbage are white, high in sugar, and very sweet. Perfect for fresh salads or, say, cabbage rolls. But the pickled one is simply excellent. This variety easily tolerates summer heat and increased dry air. And yet - there is such a sign: do not sow or plant it on Thursday - fleas or caterpillars will eat it. Checked for sure. I grow it from seedlings in open ground (Vladivostok).

How to harvest and store crops?

Heads of cabbage are harvested after the first frost, as soon as the temperature drops to -2°C. The cover leaves are not torn off until cutting, so as not to reduce the yield. The heads of cabbage ready for harvest are so heavy that they barely stay on the stalks. To prevent contact with the soil, the heads of cabbage are supported with supports.

How to harvest Megaton cabbage:

• After tearing off the leaves, the heads of cabbage are placed to dry.
• After drying in the sun, the heads of cabbage are stored until processing in a room protected from frost and precipitation.
• The leaves are somewhat harsh after cutting. When the time comes for pickling, they take on the shape needed for pickling.
• It is important to remove the heads of cabbage on time; if you delay cleaning, they will not be stored for long.
• Heads of cabbage are dug up by the roots. Those affected by caterpillars are sent for food - they must be used first.

High-quality, pest-free heads of cabbage are stored. Before laying them they are kept outside for a day. Then the roots are cut off, but a few outer leaves are left.

Storage conditions:

• Store the harvest at a temperature of +4-5°C. But it can also be stored at lower temperatures - down to -1°C.
• Humidity – 90-98%.
• Good indoor ventilation.
• The heads of cabbage are placed in boxes with the stalks up, or hung from the ceiling.

Harvesting and application of Megaton crop

Megaton cabbage makes delicious side dishes, pie fillings, cabbage rolls, salads, cabbage soup and borscht. For fresh consumption, you can cut the heads of cabbage as soon as they reach a size that suits you. For sauerkraut, cabbage is usually harvested in mid-October. They let her pour the heads of cabbage well; frost is not a problem. Frozen forks are not suitable for winter storage.

Megaton leaves contain 3.8–5% sugar. Some gardeners do not like the sweet taste of cabbage in salads and hot dishes, so they use the harvest exclusively for pickling.

I decided to keep all 10 of my heads of cabbage fresh. I cut them off, leaving legs about 3 cm long. I immediately put them in boxes, not on the ground, and moved them under a canopy. There they lay for about 5 days with the stumps facing up so that the cuts would dry out and not rot. Then I peeled each head of cabbage to clean white leaves and wrapped it well in cling film. This cabbage is stored on shelves in the cellar at a temperature of +2... +5 ⁰C for at least 5 months.

Treat your cabbage harvest with care: do not throw away the heads of cabbage, do not stain them with soil, but collect them in a clean container or cart

Who to buy Megaton seeds from?

When choosing seeds, gardeners and large vegetable farms choose well-known, proven brands. Today, competing with each other, seed producers are trying to sell the highest quality material possible - they carry out disinfection, check germination, and increase immunity.

Who to buy seeds from:

• In agro. The company has been on the Russian market for more than two decades and has a good reputation.
• IN . One of the most respected companies has been on the market since 1995. Its field of activity is varietal selection and seed production. The seeds of this company are in demand not only in Russia, but also abroad.
• IN . This is a supplier of seed material from the best foreign producers.

History of the variety

One of the most famous seed companies in the world is the Dutch company Bejo Zaden.

The breeders of this organization are engaged in the development of new varieties of vegetable crops, as well as the production of seed materials for sale in Holland and for export.

Megaton cabbage was also developed by specialists from this company.

When developing this hybrid, breeders set themselves the goal of growing a cabbage variety that would combine the following qualities:

1. large and tight heads of cabbage;
2. high resistance to major cabbage diseases and pest attacks that affect cabbage varieties;
3. resistance to sudden fluctuations in weather conditions;
4. medium-ripening variety;
5. long-term storage of the harvested heads of cabbage.

And Megaton cabbage combines all these positive qualities.

Megaton cabbage seeds were brought to Russia at the end of the last century, and the hybrid was entered into the country's State Register in 1996. Megaton is recommended for cultivation in a number of regions of Russia, including in the middle zone, in the Lower and Middle Volga region, and in the southern regions.
