Description
Xiayang Chinese Cabbage
Plant characteristics
The catalogue describes vigorous growth, an upright habit, relatively few outer leaves and smooth dark-green leaves, with tolerance to heat and humid conditions.
Harvest references
Reference harvest timing is approximately 50–55 days after sowing. The Chinese source reports plants above 2 kg around day 50 and up to 3.5 kg with later harvest under its reference conditions. These figures are not guaranteed.
Production considerations
The existing information lists summer production in suitable tropical and subtropical plains, with rain protection where rainfall is excessive. Local drainage, ventilation and crop conditions need consideration.
Disease information
The catalogue mentions soft rot and white spot resistance, but its virus terminology is unclear. No specific virus-resistance claim is made here; obtain a verified supplier resistance specification before relying on disease claims.
