Breeding history

Rinda F1 is a hybrid variety bred on the basis of White Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. Capitata) by Dutch breeders of the Monsanto agricultural company. The culture has an average ripening period. The seeds of this variety can be found on sale under the Seminis label (this is the name of a subsidiary of Monsanto). Since 1993, the variety has been listed in the State Register and recommended for the Central and Volga-Vyatka regions.

Characteristics of the Rinda F1 cabbage variety

Rinda F1 is an over-yielding mid-season variety. Up to 14 kg of fruit can be harvested from 1 m ². The ripening period of the culture from the emergence of seedlings is from 120 to 130 days, while between planting seedlings in the ground until the fruits are fully ripe, 80–90 days pass. This cabbage shows excellent results in a variety of climatic conditions of growth.

Correct fit

Rinda F1 cabbage is planted in flat areas well-lit by the sun. It is undesirable to use lowlands and hills for this culture. Cabbage does not tolerate stagnant moisture, as well as its lack. The groundwater level should not exceed 1–1.5 m from the surface.

When choosing a site, you must adhere to the rules of crop rotation. Cabbage can be planted in its original place after 3-4 years. Do not use an area where tomatoes, beets, turnips, radishes or radishes were grown. The cultivation of cabbage will be successful after potatoes, cereals and legumes, eggplant, cucumbers, carrots, garlic and onions. The Rinda F1 variety is undemanding to soil type.

For cabbage beds, choose a light, windless area

Site preparation begins in the fall after the previous harvest. The soil is dug up to the level of the shovel bayonet and 10–15 kg of peat, rotted manure or humus are introduced, as well as 500 g of lime per 1 m ².

There are two ways to plant cabbage:

• seedlings;
• direct planting in the ground.

Growing in a seedless way

Many gardeners choose the seedless method. Its popularity is due to its many benefits:

• labor costs are reduced by 50%, since this option does not involve growing and transplanting seedlings;
• the growing season is reduced by 15-18 days;
• cabbage, planted in this way, does not waste time and energy on root restoration and survival, as is the case with seedlings;
• yields increase, since cabbage develops a more powerful root system, which is able to extract moisture from deep soil layers;
• heads of cabbage grown without seedlings are stored longer.

Growing cabbage with seeds is a popular way among summer residents

So, the process begins with the preparation of planting material:

1. Viable seeds are selected first. To do this, they are poured with saline (40 g per 10 liters of water). Only seeds that remain at the bottom are suitable for planting, since they have a high germination capacity. But the planting material that floats to the surface is empty or damaged.
2. Then the seeds are calibrated, that is, medium and large specimens of 1.5–2.5 mm in size are selected.
3. Further, in order to disinfect them, they are immersed for 20 minutes in water at a temperature of 50 ° C, after which they are dried by spreading them out on a towel.

Seedlings can be protected from bear attack by installing a barrier from a cut plastic bottle

Cabbage is planted from late April to mid-May. The procedure is performed in the following sequence:

1. The seeds are placed in holes 2-3 cm deep. They are dug out every 3 cm, and a distance of 10 cm is left in the row spacing.
2. 5-6 seeds are placed in each hole. It is recommended to fill the wells with humus.
3. When the height of the sprouts reaches 15 cm, the cabbage is thinned out. In each nest, the most developed shoot is selected, all the rest are removed.

Growing seedlings

The seedling method allows you to reduce the consumption of planting material and select the most developed plants during the picking process. The preparation of soil and seeds is carried out in the same way as in the previous version. But the planting process has the following features:

1. The seeds are buried 1–1.5 cm in peat or plastic containers, which are filled with a composition of sod soil and humus (in a 2: 1 ratio). Before the emergence of seedlings, the cups are kept at 20-22 ° C, and after the germination of cabbage, the temperature is reduced to 8-10 ° C.
2. After a week, the cabbage needs to be fed. It is poured with a solution of 1 liter of water, 3 g of ammonium nitrate and 5 g of superphosphate. The prepared composition is consumed for 50 seedlings.
3. At the age of 14-15 days, the seedlings are watered and dived in a larger container. A third of the root is cut off from each seedling, and then placed in the ground to the level of the cotyledon leaves.
4. After another week, re-feeding is carried out. This time, they use a double rate of fertilizer per 1 liter of water.
5. After 30–40 days, when 6–7 leaves are formed at the sprouts, they are transplanted into open ground according to the scheme 30x70 cm. But 10 days before this, the plants begin to harden. For the first two days, they simply open the windows for this. Then the seedlings are kept outdoors for 3 hours a day. From the sixth day, the seedlings are moved to the street or balcony.
6. 2 days before planting, a third feeding is carried out. Seedlings are watered with a nutrient composition (for 1 liter of water, 2 g of nitrate, 4 g of superphosphate and 7 g of potassium sulfate).

Culture care

Caring for cabbage consists in watering, hilling, feeding, preventing diseases.

Hilling and watering the soil

One of the stages of care is hilling, since the procedure will accelerate the development of cabbage. The first time this action is performed 2 weeks after planting the seedlings, then after one month. An earthen roller up to 30 cm high is formed around the plant. After the rains and watering, the soil is loosened.

When growing cabbage, it is undesirable to allow the soil to dry out. Water the plant with a spray can. It is not recommended to use a hose for this purpose, as the soil becomes too compacted under the influence of the jet. You can also use a drip irrigation system. This method consists of using a hose that is laid out on the surface or buried in the ground, and water is supplied through special small holes.

Loosening and watering allows the culture to grow stronger

Watering is carried out according to a specific schedule, but it can vary depending on precipitation. To understand if the cabbage needs moisture, you need to take a lump of earth from a depth of 7–8 cm and squeeze it. If the soil crumbles, there is a need for watering.

Table: order and rates of watering

Regularity of watering	Water consumption
Once every 4-7 days	10-15 liters per 1 m 2

Fertilization rules

The quality of the crop also depends on the top dressing.

Timely feeding is an important step in caring for cabbage

Table: fertilizing for cabbage

Application period	Nutrient formulations
When landing	10 kg of organic matter per 1 m 2
	1 tsp urea, 200 g of ash (per 1 m 2); 2 tbsp. l. superphosphate (per 1 m 2).
During the growing season	500 g of humus, 2 tbsp. l. ash (per plant); 1 tsp nitrophosphate (per plant).

Diseases and pests

Rinda F1 is resistant to leaf browning, bacteriosis and root rot. However, this variety can attack other unpleasant ailments.

Table: description of diseases characteristic of the Rinda F1 variety

Diseases	Symptoms	Treatment methods	Prevention
Mosaic	The leaves are covered with a characteristic mosaic pattern. The veins of the leaves brighten. A dark green border forms on them. The leaves are deformed and wrinkled.	Methods to combat this disease have not been developed. Affected plants must be destroyed.	Loosening the soil and removing weeds in the garden.
Blackleg	The leg of the cabbage becomes thinner, turns black and rots.	Trimming the stem above the damaged area and then placing the stem in water until new roots form.	Soil treatment 3 days before planting with a solution based on colloidal sulfur (40 g per 10 l) or manganese potassium (3 g per 10 l of water), consumption - 5 l per 1 m 2.
Peronosporosis (downy mildew)	On the outside, red spots form on the leaves, and the underside is covered with white bloom. Black spots appear on the stems and seeds.	Spraying with 1% Bordeaux liquid.	Prevention of excessive moisture.
Keela	The roots are covered with growths. Diseased plants cannot absorb the required amount of nutrients and moisture, as a result of which they lag behind in development. Heads of cabbage are not tied on the affected bushes.	Removal and destruction of affected plants.	Compliance with crop rotation. Liming the soil.
