Effect of seed quantity on cabbage nursery plant quality

Abstract

The aim was to test the late maturing cabbage cultivars. The following seed quantities were used for sowing: 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6g/m2. Nursery plants were weighed on day 38 (following germination). The following data were recorded: plant height, number of leaves per plant, leaf area and leaf weight. A smaller amount of seeds contributed to a more favourable quality of nursery plants but tended to decrease the number of plants per m2. Moderate seed amounts (3-5g/m2) were the most favourable. Five-leaf cabbage nursery plants were the most convenient for planting.

Ispitan je rasad koji nalazi primenu u kasnoj proizvodnji kupusa. Korišćene su sledeće količine semena: 2, 3, 4, 5 i 6g/m2 zemljišta. Za merenje rasada iz ogleda su uzimani odgovarajući uzorci. Dobijeni su podaci za visinu biljke, broj i površinu listova po biljci, te masu biljke (nadzemni deo). Manje količine semena dale su kvalitetniji rasad, ali su smanjile broj biljaka po jedinici površine (m2). Najbolje su umerene količine semena (3-5g/m2). Rasadni period je trajao 38 dana.
