The F-1 Hybrid Urja Bharat
Cabbage is a highly resilient winter crop, ideal for cultivation in cool, moist
climates. This variety is distinguished by its robust tolerance to frost,
maintaining quality even at the critical head formation stage. It is primarily
grown as a winter crop and can endure a broader range of temperatures compared
to cauliflower. This makes it particularly valuable in regions where weather
conditions can fluctuate. The Urja Bharat variety produces round, compact heads
with a bluish-green hue, notable for their excellent field staying capacity,
meaning they remain fresh and firm in the field over extended periods.
The compact nature of the plant, with fewer outer leaves, reduces the need
for extensive space and facilitates easier harvesting. Each head weighs between
1.3 to 1.5 kilograms, providing a substantial yield. Additionally, this variety
shows strong resistance to common diseases such as black rot and fusarium,
making it a reliable choice for bot?h commercial and home growers. Each pack
contains approximately 40 seeds, ensuring a robust start for a productive
cabbage crop.

To successfully cultivate the Urja Bharat Cabbage, the following conditions
should be met:
- Climate:
Optimal growth occurs in cool, moist climates. This variety is best suited
for winter cropping, given its exceptional tolerance to frost and its
ability to maintain quality in cold conditions.

Regular watering is essential to keep the soil consistently moist. Avoid
allowing the soil to dry out, especially during dry spells, to prevent
quality degradation.
- Sunlight:
Ensure full sun exposure for at least 6 hours daily. Sufficient sunlight
is vital for robust growth and the development of dense, compact heads.

Provide adequate space between plants to promote air circulation and
prevent overcrowding. This also supports the formation of large,
high-quality heads.
- Planting
Time: The best time to plant this cabbage is during the
cooler months, aligning with its preference for winter cropping.
- Harvesting:
Monitor the cabbage heads as they approach maturity. Harvest when the
heads are firm and compact, typically within 60 to 65 days from planting.

Management: While this variety is resistant to black rot
and fusarium, regular monitoring and proper crop management practices are
recommended to prevent the onset of other potential diseases.
