The culture has a high resistance to diseases and pests, which is confirmed by the description of the cabbage variety Jubilee F1 217.
Description of the cabbage variety Jubilee
The originator is the Semko agricultural company. The main goal in breeding the Yubileynaya F1 cabbage variety was to obtain a hybrid that had a relatively short ripening period and, at the same time, could be stored for a long time. In general, the originator coped with the task. The ripening period for Jubilee cabbage is from 90 to 100 days. You can store it for 5-6 months.
The number of outer leaves in the Yubileiny variety rarely exceeds 5-6 pieces.
Outwardly, this is an ordinary white cabbage, which has a round or slightly flattened white-green shape. The leaf plates are slightly oblong, with a firm compaction at the base. The diameter of the heads of cabbage is about 22 cm. The weight of ripe cabbage is from 1.5 to 2 kg.
Advantages and disadvantages
The positive properties of the hybrid include:
- relatively short ripening times;
- storage duration up to six months;
- excellent taste in raw and fermented form;
- high resistance to almost all diseases;
Negative properties are:
- deterioration of taste during heat treatment.
Jubilee cabbage is a typical representative of salad vegetables. It is practically not used for cooking hot dishes and baking.
Cabbage yield Jubilee F1
The yield of the Yubileynaya cabbage variety in private cultivation ranges from 200 to 400 kg per hundred square meters. Ways to increase it are standard - an increase in planting density, the use of fertile soils for cultivation, intensification of agricultural technology.
Planting and caring for Jubilee cabbage
It is recommended to grow Jubilee cabbage in the open field. When planting seeds in mid-April, the harvest will be obtained in the second decade of July. If earlier cultivation is required, use the seedling method.
In this case, the seeds are planted in boxes at the beginning of March. The seed is buried by 1 cm. As soon as shoots appear, the boxes with seedlings are placed in a bright place with a low temperature (from + 5 ° C to + 8 ° C). Planting in open ground is carried out 35-40 days after the seed has hatched. The landing pattern is 60x50 cm or 60x70 cm.
Landing in open ground is carried out when three or more leaves appear in a hybrid
Caring for Jubilee cabbage consists of watering and dressing. It also requires soil cultivation in the form of loosening and hilling as needed. Watering is carried out at intervals of several days, while being guided by the moisture content of the upper soil layer. Recommended rates - up to 20-30 liters per 1 sq. m.
Top dressing is done three times per season. The first is carried out in early May. In this case, organic fertilizers are used in the form of a solution of mullein or chicken droppings. The second is performed about a month later, using the same composition. The third top dressing is mineral (phosphorus-potassium mixture in standard concentration for cabbage, no more than 50 g per 1 sq. M).It is brought in 1-2 weeks before the expected harvest time.
Diseases and pests
The most common disease affecting a hybrid is cabbage keela. External manifestations are the wilting of the leaves and the subsequent death of the plant.
The cause of the disease is a fungus, leading to the appearance of growths on the rhizome.
There is no treatment, the affected specimens must be dug up and destroyed outside the site. Preventive measures to combat the disease consist in the pre-planting treatment of the soil with slaked lime (up to 500 g per 1 sq. M) and other ways to reduce its acidity. On alkaline soils, the keel does not appear.
The main pest of the Yubileinaya variety is the cabbage moth. Given the ripening time, the plant can be affected by the first and second generation of the insect.

Pest control is carried out using chemical and biological preparations. An effective remedy against moths will be insecticides Butisan or Decis. The bacteriological preparations Bitoxbacillin and Dendrobacillin have also proven themselves well.
Application
It is used mainly fresh or canned. Jubilee cabbage variety is used in the preparation of salads, as well as for pickling.
Conclusion
The description of the Jubilee cabbage variety confirms that the variety in question is a mid-season hybrid designed to fill the gap in ripening between early and mid-late varieties. The vegetable has an excellent taste and a shelf life of almost six months. It is mainly used fresh, it is also used for fermentation.
