الوصف: | Cabbage (Brassica oleraceae var. Capitata L.) is one of the most important leafy vegetables grown by smallholder farmers in Zimbabwe for food, nutrition, and income security. The study evaluated the adaptation of two Korean varieties/entries (‘K5’ reddish-purple and ‘K8’ white-green) under Zimbabwe’s tropical conditions compared to the industry’s standard variety ‘Fabiola’ preferred for its high yield, earliness, and tenderness. The experiment was conducted at the Scientific Industrial Research and Development Center (SIRDC) farm in a randomized complete block design with five replications. Two Korean cabbage varieties ‘K8’ (white) and ‘K5’ (red) were evaluated in comparison with ‘Fabiola’ hybrid being an industry standard preferred for its high yield, earliness, and tenderness. The actual days to maturity from transplanted seedlings ranged between 85-90 days in ‘Fabiola’, but ‘K8’ matured at 100-120 days and ‘K5’ at 120-140 days are categorized as mid-season to late maturing varieties. The ‘K8’ had bigger head weight than ‘Fabiola’ and ‘K5’ (P |
