Methods of Overwintering Cabbage for Seed
Year: 1973
Type: article
Abstract: Seven different methods were tried for the overwintering of Cabbage heads, in Kalpa conditions, where winters are long and severe. In four treatments where polythenes were used, the mortality of plants was high and the seed yields were in general very low; they also took more number of days to flower. Seed yields were high for the three treatments, viz., where heads were stored in trenches, heads covered with earth and heads kept open in the field, and these were not significantly different from each other during all the three years, through there was a tendency in treatment where heads were covered with earth to give slightly higher seed yields. Flowering occurred about three days late in treatment, where heads were kept open in field, thus indicating comparatively late maturity in it to the other two treatments.
