SPECIAL VARIETAL REQUIREMENTS
• Do not irrigate during cold nights or let the cabbages go into the night with wet roots – the heads could crack if night temperatures drop very low during the night and warm up quickly during the day
• Do not plant this variety in summer or spring when rainfall is high and Black rot is likely to occur
• Please contact your area representative for a sowing guide and more technical information
