Morphological Characterization of Some Hybrid Red Head Cabbage (Brassica oleracea L.var. capitata subvar. rubra) Varieties

This research aims to determine the morphological characteristics of different hybrid varieties in red head cabbage varieties, which has an important share vegetable production Samsun province. In study carried out at Black Sea Agricultural Research Institute, 15 were examined terms 28 characteristics. Significant variations observed studied among varieties. Plant length varied between 36.33-57.67 cm, plant width 61.67-97.33 weight 905.0-1693.33 g, outer leaf 32.83-46.33 21.5-37.33 13.67-18.83 diameter ranged from 11.53-14.67 interior stem 5.63-8.67 cm and 2.33-3.83 cm. It was determined that leaves covered upper part head, hardness very tight, shape broad obovate, heads had a dark violet color. The period seedling planting maturation 68 125 days, all remained field for long time without cracking. Yaldız is as best variety weight, length, diameter, traits correlated with yield. addition, highest height Caballero variety, Red Taste variety. Remala earliest Charisma latest thought become prominent quality can be evaluated hybridization development studies.
