Among the fungal diseases that affect cabbage, clubroot occupies a leading place. It not only destroys growing plantings, but also remains in the ground for many years. Therefore, developments by research institutes and seed companies to develop varieties with improved clubroot resistance are extremely important.
Advantages of hybrids
In addition to disease resistance, cabbage hybrids have other noteworthy advantages:
- High yield.
- High level of germination.
- Possibility of planting cabbage in areas previously infected with clubroot.
Each company that sells seeds recommends its own varieties. But there are hybrids that produce good yields year after year and are resistant to disease.
