Description and characteristics of the variety
White cabbage Transfer F1 was bred by Russian specialists from the All-Russian Research Institute of Rice and the Breeding Station named after. Timofeeva. It was included in the State Register of the Russian Federation in 1993 for cultivation in the Ural, Far Eastern, Central regions, Siberia, the South and the North-West. Commodity production possible.
Commercial products account for up to 94% of the total harvest.
The hybrid is early ripening: after full germination, the heads of cabbage ripen in 96–100 days. The head is compact, weighing from 0.8 to 1.5 kg. The outer leaves are small, slightly bubbly, light green with a medium waxy coating. The cut is white. The density is not very high, there are small cavities. Heads of cabbage are not prone to cracking. The inner stalk is small.
The pulp has a pleasant taste, juicy, without hard veins. Contains 32–50 mg of ascorbic acid per 100 g, 6.4–7.8% dry matter, 3.2–4.1% sugars and 0.8–1.3 g protein. Used fresh and for cooking. Not suitable for pickling, pickling and storage.
Positive and negative qualities of a hybrid
The hybrid has a long list of advantages that distinguish it from other early varieties of cabbage. The domestic vegetable is famous primarily for the following positive qualities:
- Good taste. Taste qualities of Transfer F1 – 4.0-4.8 points out of 5.
- Good immunity. Protection against most cabbage diseases.
- The plant is not afraid of low temperatures.
- Transfer F1 is one of the most unpretentious hybrids to grow.
- Heads of cabbage are not prone to cracking and are easily transported over long distances.
- The harvest ripens together.
- Transfer F1 has an attractive presentation, thanks to which cabbage is well sold on the market.
However, it is worth noting the disadvantages of this hybrid. These include:
- The plant is practically not protected from insect attack (in general, like any other early cabbage). In particular, Transfer is often infested by the cruciferous flea beetle. To protect yourself from this parasite, you need to sprinkle the vegetable with wood ash.
- The hybrid is not suitable for pickling or pickling.
- It has a short shelf life both on the root and in the cellar.
Landing
The dates for sowing seeds for seedlings are the last ten days of March and the first ten days of April. How and when to plant? In the south you can plant earlier, in Siberia and the Urals - later. Before sowing, seeds sold without colored shells are treated:
- soak for 20 minutes in a solution of potassium permanganate at a temperature of +50 degrees;
- rinse for 2–3 minutes in cold, clean water;
- if desired, soak in a solution of a growth stimulator (Epin or Zircon).
The soil is prepared from humus, peat, turf soil, sand and compost. The ingredients, except peat, are taken in equal quantities, then 10% peat and a little wood ash are added. Pour the mixture with a hot solution of potassium permanganate or leave it in the oven for half an hour at +100 degrees.
To avoid unnecessary injury to the roots during transplantation, it is better to use individual containers: peat pots or tablets or plastic glasses.
Furrows 0.5 cm deep are made in the soil, the seeds are laid out, leaving 3–5 cm grooves. Water and germinate at room temperature under a transparent film. With the emergence of seedlings, remove the film, reduce the temperature to +14–17 degrees and provide long-term lighting. If there is not enough sun, lamps are used.
Plants emerge from common boxes after 10–12 days. When planting in individual pots, thin out. A week or two before transplanting, the seedlings are hardened off. Planted according to a 40 by 50 cm pattern.
Care
Further care for cabbage consists of regular watering, applying various fertilizers, and controlling weeds and pests.
It is not difficult to follow the rules, but failure to comply with at least one of these rules and violation of the deadlines for their implementation leads to a significant reduction or complete loss of the crop.
Watering
Hybrid Transfer f1 is a moisture-loving vegetable crop. Optimal soil moisture conditions are not lower than 75% in the area where the cabbage root system is located. Watering is carried out depending on weather conditions.
The fruit may crack due to overwatering or sudden fluctuations in soil moisture.
Weed control
Plant protection from weeds includes a complex of agrotechnical and chemical measures carried out at different periods of crop growth.
Agrotechnical measures:
- crop rotation;
- pre-sowing treatment;
- inter-row processing;
- manual weeding.
Chemical methods of protection:
- application of continuous action herbicides;
- use of selective herbicides.
Continuous action herbicides are used before planting seedlings in the soil or, in the non-seedling method, before seed germination. These drugs include Roundup, Tornado, Glyphos, etc.
Selective herbicides are applied after germination. These include the following drugs: Treflan, Lontrel, Panther, Targasuper, Fusilad Forte, etc.
Pest Control
To obtain a high-quality harvest, pests are periodically controlled.
Preventive measures:
- timely destruction of weeds and post-harvest residues,
- loosening row spacing during the caterpillar pupation period,
- culling damaged seedlings,
- treating seeds with insecticides.
In pest control, contact-systemic insecticides (Konfidor, Zolon, Aktara, Bi-58) are used by spraying. They are used in case of mass spread of pests strictly in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Fertilizer application
Fertilizing is carried out 10-14 days after planting the seedlings. With the seedless planting method, fertilizers are applied fractionally, depending on the condition of the plant.
Mullein at a dosage of 1:10 or chicken manure at a dosage of 1:12 are suitable for these purposes. After 10 days, fertilizing is repeated. After watering, the procedure is more effective. You can sprinkle the soil with wood ash: it perfectly nourishes and protects from pests.
Diseases and the fight against them
This hybrid is resistant to vascular bacteriosis and blackleg, but is susceptible to a number of other diseases characteristic of the cruciferous family.
Preventing a disease is always easier than treating it. For prevention, the following fungicides are used: “Fundazol”, “Previkur”, copper sulfate, “Ridomil Gold”, copper oxychloride.
Growing and care
Water after planting in small portions every 3–4 days. After a month, they switch to abundant watering once a week. Use water at room temperature and apply at the root.
After watering and rain, the soil is loosened every time.
Feed three times:
- 10–12 days after transplantation - organic fertilizer (manure, chicken droppings, diluted 1:10).
- 3 weeks after the first, repeat feeding or apply mineral nitrogen fertilizers.
- When forks appear, potassium and phosphorus are added.
Reviews about growing
- Maria, 45 years old: “ The early cabbage variety Transfer has been in my garden for the 4th year now. Previously, my early cabbage did not bear fruit well, but lately I have been able to harvest a good harvest - up to 9 kg. I take good care of the plants. Watering remains very important for them. Since my summers are dry, I irrigate every other day. At the same time, I try not to get it on the leaves, otherwise it will cause them to burn. For feeding, I use an infusion of chicken manure. In total I apply it 3-4 times during the season. I really struggled with cabbage. At first it didn’t particularly attack the bushes, but last year it ate a fair amount of seedlings. Then I sprinkled dolomite flour on everything and these parasites no longer bother my seedlings.”
- Inna, 31 years old: “Transfer cabbage is an early variety that bears fruit well in my city where the soil is clayey. I haven’t fertilized it for a long time, but out of curiosity I decided to plant this plant. Of course, during the growing season I add organic matter, as well as mineral compounds. When the heads of cabbage are forming, I add fertilizer from nitrogen. And with further growth, phosphorus and potassium. This is what helps me get an excellent harvest of early cabbage. I water it once a week, since I laid a layer of mulch using peat. It is also necessary to carry out preventive treatment of plants against diseases. A 1% solution of Bordeaux mixture helps me with this.”
And here you can read reviews from gardeners about Broccoli cabbage, how it is sowed for seedlings and what the timing is.
Transfer is a cabbage variety that allows you to enjoy fresh and juicy leaves as early as June. The uniqueness of this vegetable crop is that it can be used both fresh and processed. Of course, you won’t be able to store it for a long time, since after a couple of months it begins to deteriorate. But you can please your family with a tasty and healthy salad every day.
Features of agricultural technology
Cabbage Sugarloaf
Before you start planting cabbage, you need to prepare the soil on the site and the seeds. Cabbage seed material is soaked for 15–20 minutes in hot water, and then for 1 minute in cold water. After this, the seeds should be kept in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
Important! Before sowing, you need to pay attention to the fact that the seeds should not be stuck together.
The soil on the site has been prepared since autumn. The bed is dug up, and then organic fertilizers are added to it at the rate of 10 kg per 1 m². You can use mullein or chicken droppings as fertilizer.
It is recommended to check the ground pH level. If it is elevated, you need to liming the soil.
Transformer cabbage is planted using the seedling method. For planting seedlings, it is best to choose peat cups. Since this variety is an early variety, it does not tolerate transplantation well, and the use of this type of container for seedlings eliminates the need to remove seedlings from it.
Of no small importance is the type of soil mixture used for planting seeds for seedlings. You can prepare it yourself. To do this, soil and humus are mixed in equal quantities. It wouldn't hurt to add a few tablespoons of wood ash.
Important! In this case, the ash acts not only as a fertilizer, but also as an antiseptic, preventing the development of the black leg of cabbage seedlings.
The finished soil mixture must have properties such as breathability and fertility.
If we talk about the timing of sowing seeds for seedlings, it is better to choose the beginning of April. Before sowing the seeds, the soil in the cups is thoroughly moistened. This is necessary in order to speed up the emergence of seedlings. The seeds are immersed in the soil to a depth of 1-1.5 cm. I would like to note the rather rapid process of the appearance of the first shoots - 5-7 days.
Containers with seedlings are placed in a bright and warm place. The air temperature in the room should be between 12–18 degrees. The room must be ventilated periodically, but without creating drafts. After the seedlings appear, you can practice the method of hardening the seedlings. To do this, the room temperature during the day is maintained within 18-20 degrees, and at night 12-15.
Hardening of seedlings using ventilation
It is not recommended to water the soil before the first shoots appear. Otherwise, the development of a black leg cannot be avoided. Young shoots are watered as needed. In order to avoid overwatering, it is necessary to carefully loosen the soil under the seedlings as often as possible.
To prevent cabbage seedlings from stretching out, experienced gardeners practice additional lighting for 12–14 hours a day using a fluorescent lamp.
When growing seedlings, they need to be fed. The first fertilizing can be done 10–14 days after emergence. To do this, you should use superphosphate, ammonium nitrate, and potassium fertilizers. The root system of young plants is still weak and can be burned with fertilizers. To avoid this problem, the plant must be well watered before adding them to the roots.
The second feeding is performed 14 days after this. A solution prepared from slurry dissolved in water is used as fertilizer.
Humus (rotted manure)
The third time the seedlings are fed a few days before they are transplanted to the garden bed. For this, ammonium nitrate, potassium fertilizers or superphosphate are used. You can use ready-made Kemira Lux fertilizer.
To transplant seedlings to the garden bed, it is better to choose early morning or evening. Plants must be at least 60 days old. The soil temperature is not lower than 18 degrees. Otherwise, the root system may die.
Important! Seedlings should not be immersed very deeply in the soil. This will prevent the lower leaves from ventilating.
The top edge of the cup should be on the surface of the soil. After transplanting, the plants are well watered. In order to avoid damage to the planted seedlings, it is recommended to cover them with a transparent film. In addition to insulation, this will help protect young plants from pests and drying out of the soil surface.
Caring for seedlings involves weeding, loosening the soil and removing weeds. Don't forget about feeding. To do this, you can use nitrogen and potassium fertilizers. The first subcortex is carried out 2 weeks after planting. The second - 20 days after that.
Important! Cabbage leaves are covered with a waxy coating, which prevents the penetration of solutions. To avoid this problem, it is recommended to add a special adhesive, liquid soap or shampoo to the solution.
Cabbage is susceptible to diseases and pests. Among the diseases that can harm cabbage are the following:
- blackleg;
- root rot.
To combat them, you can use ash, which is sprinkled over the entire plant. You can also achieve good results by using Trichodermin or Rizoplan, which are applied at the root of the plant.
Among the most dangerous pests of cabbage is the cruciferous flea. To combat it, it is recommended to treat plants with Intavir solution.
By using these simple recommendations, you can not only grow healthy and strong seedlings of Transfer cabbage, but also get a good harvest from a small bed without much effort and material costs.

Mid-season varieties
These are varieties with a growing season of more than 100 days. Cabbage has good taste, good shelf life and disease resistance.
Topaz
A variety of German origin, which requires no more than 135 days for the seedlings to form strong and dense heads of cabbage. The forks are round in shape and dark purple in color. Productivity is average - 6-7 kg/sq. m.
The harvest is harvested in a timely manner, since as the heads of cabbage grow, they begin to crack - this immediately negatively affects the shelf life. The average weight of one fork is 1.5 kg. The variety is resistant to cabbage diseases and has good shelf life.
Worox F1
Dutch hybrid, which belongs to the mid-early species. It only takes 95 days for it to mature from planting the seedlings to a permanent location. The forks have a wide-elliptical shape, and although they are small in size, they are dense, weighing up to 3.5 kg. Productivity is average - 5-6 kg/sq. m. Resistant to cracking.
The size of the leaves varies from medium to large. Their surface is smooth, they are colored purple, and have a waxy coating. This cabbage is good both fresh and processed.
Autoro F1
A hybrid from the Netherlands, the growing season of which is 116 days from emergence. It boasts a high yield. The head of cabbage is round-oval in shape, painted in a rich dark red color.
The weight of one fork rarely exceeds 2 kg. The leaves are medium in size, purple in color, and have a strong waxy coating. After ripening, it can be left on the field for more than one month, which will not affect the taste or presentation. Cabbage tolerates transportation well over long distances. Productivity is high - 8-10 kg/sq. m. However, its significant drawback is its strong susceptibility to clubroot.
Gako
An ancient variety that is not afraid of low temperatures and does not lose its relevance to this day. It has been grown throughout Russia since 1943. To mature, it takes 110-136 days from transplanting young plants into open ground. Productivity is high - 8 kg/sq. m.
A round and dense head of cabbage with an average weight of about 3 kg, does not crack when ripe. The leaf is whole, colored bluish-violet, with a strong waxy coating clearly visible on it. The variety is a drought-resistant crop, has good shelf life and transportability, and is moderately resistant to bacteriosis.
Mikhnevskaya
A high-yielding variety from Moscow breeders, intended for cultivation throughout the country. Harvesting takes place 120 days after the appearance of harvests. Dense heads of cabbage have a purple color with a faint red tint. The minimum weight of one head of cabbage is 1.4 kg, but there are specimens weighing up to 6 kg. high yield - 6-8 kg/sq. m.
The blue-violet leaves are covered with a waxy coating of medium intensity. This variety has excellent shelf life and taste, and can withstand high and low ambient temperatures, but for a short time. Cabbage is not resistant to clubroot and mucous bacteriosis.
Description of the variety
As already noted at the beginning of the publication, Transfer is an early ripening variety of cabbage.
The growing season from germination to technical ripeness lasts about 100 days. The incomplete growing season, that is, after the seedlings are planted in the exhaust gas, lasts about 2 months. When compared with other early varieties, Transfer ripens a week earlier than Iyunskaya and approximately 10 days earlier than the Gribovsky 147 variety.
The leaf rosette of the plant is semi-raised and small. The leaves are round in shape, there are bubbles on the surface, but weakly expressed. The color of the leaf blade is light green. There is also a medium-intensity wax coating on the surface. As for the waviness on the edge of the leaf, it is present, but very weakly expressed.
Cabbage heads are quite small, weighing up to 1.5 kg. The shape is round. The external color of the head is green and white; in cross-section, the head of cabbage is completely white. The density is average (there are voids). There is a very short stump inside.
Transfer's yield is at a sufficient level. With proper care, from 1 hectare of plantings you can collect from 22 to 38 tons of quality products. This is 2-4 tons higher than the June indicators. The maximum yield was noted in the Oryol region, where farmers managed to collect 63 tons from 1 hectare.
Of the harvested crop, approximately 94% is suitable for sale on the market.
The heads of cabbage ripen together, which is a huge advantage when growing cabbage on an industrial scale.
This variety is recommended for fresh consumption or culinary processing.
The composition of the vegetable is as follows:
- Dry matter – 6.4-7.8 g.
- Sugary substances – 3.2-4.1 g.
- Ascorbic acid – 32-50.1 mg.
- Protein – 0.8-1.3 g.
