Agrobiological evaluation of modern hybrids of green-head cabbage of Russian and Dutch selection on its suitability to pickling
The evaluation of modern hybrids of green-head cabbage of Russian and Dutch selection by economic-valuable signs on its suitability to pickling is given. Russian and Dutch hybrids of green-head cabbage differed slightly by productivity (79,9 and 80,4 tons per hectare), but the yield of standard production at the Dutch hybrids was by 2% above. The greatest general productivity showed Russian hybrids F <sub>1</sub> Favourite (85,8 tons per hectare), F <sub>1</sub> Prestige (82,0 tons per hectare) and Dutch F <sub>1</sub> Paradox (84,1 tons per hectare). Hybrids of cabbage of Russian selection are in a greater degree suitable for a pickling by such technological characteristics as mass of a head of cabbage (2,02 against 1,60 kg), its volume (2292 against 2128 am <sup>3</sup>) and density (0,84 against 0,75 g/om <sup>3</sup>), and also by organoleptic indicators - by outward (4,40 against 3,90), colour of leaves (4,44 against 3,95) and consistence (4,48 against 4,25).
