The cabbage plant is a cruciferous vegetable that is a member of the Brassicaceae family. Cabbage plants are widely grown due to their climatic adaptability and for their high nutritional value. Originating in Europe, cabbage plants are now cultivated and eaten around the world.
Cabbage can grow in nearly any type of soil depending on the variety but thrives in well-drained, loamy soils. Under conditions with high rainfall, sandier soils are preferred due to higher drainage rates. Since cabbage is sensitive to highly acidic soils, the ideal pH range is 5.5 to 6.5. Cabbage requires a large number of nutrients, so soils with higher organic matter content are preferred.
Cabbage grows best in cool and humid climates. When exposed to higher heat, yields can be lower and it will become more difficult to control pests. The optimal temperature range for growth is between 18-20 °C. Cabbage is very resistant to cold weather and can survive in temperatures as low as -3°C without crop damage. Cabbage is highly adaptable and can be grown in many regions throughout the entire year. Water requirements vary from 380 to 500 mm per crop. Crop water usage increases during the growing season.
