Outdoor cabbage cultivation

The possibility of rearing seedlings of cabbage of this variety is one of its advantages.

Reckless way of landing

Cultivation of cabbage Aggressor F1 seeds passes according to the following rules:

1. The bed is prepared in advance, a sunny location is preferable for it.
   

   For cabbage beds, it is better to avoid shaded areas, because the culture loves the bright sun

2. The best sowing date is the end of April-beginning of May.
3. Planting seeds is carried out in moist soil.
   

   Before sowing cabbage seeds, the soil is abundantly watered.

4. Landing pattern - 50x50 cm.

If you grow cabbage through seedlings

Variety cultivation through seedlings occurs according to the traditional scheme:

1. It is more convenient to sow seeds in peat cups or tablets; optimal time is the first decade of April.
   

   Peat tablets are ideal for planting cabbage seeds

2. When preparing the seed material, it is necessary to soak it in hot water for 20 minutes (50 ^aboutC), then for 2-3 minutes place the seeds in cold water and dry.
   

   Soaking cabbage seeds before planting is carried out to prevent the development of fungal and other diseases of seedlings
3. Seeding depth - 1 cm. After germination, the seedlings are placed in a sunny place with a temperature of at least 16 ^aboutFROM.
   

   After sowing seeds, the containers can be covered with a film to accelerate the emergence of seedlings

4. To seedlings become stronger, they need to be hardened. To do this, they are taken out into the street or a sunny veranda during the day, and returned to the room at night.
   

   Aggressor F1 cabbage seedlings are sown in peat cups or tablets

5. 35-40 days after the emergence of seedlings, the seedlings are ready for planting in a permanent place.
   

   Hybrid cabbage seedlings of the hybrid Aggressor F1 are planted in open ground 35-40 days after emergence

Transplanting into open ground transports seedlings painlessly, so more often gardeners still choose the last method of planting.

The best predecessors for cabbage are all types of legumes, as well as potatoes, cucumbers, tomatoes.

Landing care

The rules for caring for seedlings are simple, but they must be followed even with all the unpretentiousness of the Aggressor variety:

• Watering cabbage is carried out with water at room temperature, preferably in the morning or evening hours.
• Cabbage needs to be watered abundantly every 3-4 days.
• In order for the plants to have enough light, it is better to plant undersized plants as a sealant: calendula, marigolds, spicy herbs.
• During the season, 3-4 loosening is required. The first time - one and a half to two weeks after planting, at the same time, hilling is carried out.

In order to grow full-fledged heads of cabbage, Aggressor F1 varieties of cabbage need to be loosened and fed regularly

Disease control

One of the drawbacks of this variety is susceptibility to the disease of the keel.

In the case of a disease, a keel plant is dug up with a lump of earth and destroyed

To prevent the disease, during the autumn digging of the site it is useful to add ash at the rate of 500 g / m². If the disease is detected, cabbage and other cruciferous crops can be grown in this place only after 4-5 years.

Cabbage Aggressor F1 is one of the best varieties of cabbage at the moment, as for me. The hybrid is late ripening; the period from seedlings to harvesting is 4 months. The plant develops rapidly, tolerates short-term droughts, resistant to diseases. With normal care, I received heads weighing 4–5 kg, but I don’t need such large heads, so I make plantings a little thicker, while the yield per hundred parts remains the same, and the heads are smaller, weighing up to 3 kg. I don’t use chemical fertilizers, since autumn I have been putting organic matter into the soil under cabbage at the rate of 50 tons per hectare. Cabbage can stand on a root for a long time, does not crack, does not rot. I start cleaning at the first frost - the leaves become softer. Cabbage is perfectly stored until spring. The palatability is excellent. I recommend, plant, you will not regret.

He has been helping me out for the third year, because with the varieties that I tried, you can stay without cabbage at all for the winter, and this hybrid is stable, hardy, which gives more confidence in the crop. I hasten with seedlings - I sow in March - April (almost every seed sprouts), I transfer to the ground for permanent residence - in 1-3 weeks of May, where I leave it right up to the first mild frosts. Heads - one to one; there has never been a crack, even from heavy rains or watering; not one has spoiled over the winter in the cellar; not one was sick in the garden. And last year’s drought, the Aggressor steadfastly survived (I rarely watered it), although when pickling it was noticeable that it let less juice than usual. From pests, except that no one is safe - there are problems with this.

"If you saw what kind of cabbage I grew up, you would not ask me to return," the Roman emperor Diocletian replied to a request to return to state rule. It seems that Diocletian would also choose the Aggressor hybrid if he had already been bred in those days. The variety is good in salads, for the preparation of culinary dishes (cabbage soup, borsch, cabbage rolls, etc.), suitable for pickling and long-term storage. Both gardeners and farmers believe that the Aggressor hybrid will save energy and costs, as well as guarantee a high yield.
