The effects of added limestone and potassium on the yield of cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata) were investigated at different locations each year for three consecutive years. The cultivars, Excel, Green Winter and Houston Evergreen were grown at each location and after harvest were held for 5 mo in storages maintained at about 2 °C and 95% RH and at about 6 °C and 90% RH. An application of dolomitic limestone at 6.7 t/ha, prior to transplanting, on soils with pH levels of 4.8–5.4 increased marketable yields. The addition of potassium at 224 kg/ha compared to 56 kg/ha also increased yields. The lime treatment reduced the percent weight loss due to dehydration in storage, but neither the lime nor the potassium treatment had any significant effect on the proportion of the original weight placed in storage that remained in marketable condition.Key words: Cabbage, Brassica oleracea, cold storage, lime, potassium, fertilizer

Brassica Oleracea L

Sprouts and microgreens, the edible seedlings of vegetables and herbs, have received increasing attention in recent years and are considered as functional foods or superfoods owing to their valuable health-promoting properties. In particular, the seedlings of broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. var. Italica) have been highly prized for their substantial amount of bioactive constituents, including glucosinolates, phenolic compounds, vitamins, and essential minerals. These secondary metabolites are positively associated with potential health benefits. Numerous in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that broccoli seedlings possess various biological properties, including antioxidant, anticancer, anticancer, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-obesity and antidiabetic activities. The present review summarizes the updated knowledge about bioactive compounds and bioactivities of these broccoli products and discusses the relevant mechanisms of action. This review will serve as a potential reference for food selections of consumers and applications in functional food and nutraceutical industries.

Effect of the Cultivar and Harvest Date of Kale (Brassica oleraceaL. var.acephala) on Crop Yield and Plant Morphological FeaturesThe experimental material consisted of three kale cultivars: Winterbor F1, Redbor F1and Medium High Green Curly were obtained from three harvest dates. The experiment was conducted in a three-year cycle (2006-2008). Total yields ranged from 5.13 to 9.32 kg·m-2, of which marketable yield constituted on average 51-72% and processing yield 27-34%. In the present experiment, 8.42 kg of total yield per 1m2was obtained from Winterbor F1, 7.55 kg from Medium High Green Curly cv. and 6.71kg from Redbor F1as an average for all years and harvest dates. The highest total yield for all cultivars was from the second harvest date and ranged from 6.76 to 9.32 kg·m-2. The dry matter yield of leaves with removed veins averaged between 0.28 and 0.50 kg per 1m2for all years and harvest dates.
