Abstract:

To screen high-quality cabbage varieties suitable for cultivation in Zhejiang Province，this study systematically compared the agronomic traits，quality，and flavor of seven high-quality cabbage varieties. The results showed that there were differences in the growth period of the tested varieties，among which Zheyantianxin and Bolicui were early-maturing. Except for Bolicui，all other varieties were resistant to cracking. The single plant weight of Shuiguoganlan was the highest，the soluble sugar content of Zheyantianmei was the highest，and the soluble solid content and glucosinolate content of Jinqiu were the highest. In the taste evaluation，Zheyantianmei，Zheyantianxin，and Haoweilai had obvious sweetness，while the spiciness of Jinqiu was prominent. Correlation analysis showed that sweetness was positively correlated with soluble sugar content at p<0.01 level，while spiciness was positively correlated with glucosinolate content at p<0.001 level. Overall，Zheyantianxin and Zheyantianmei have excellent comprehensive quality and are suitable for promotion as early-maturing high-quality varieties. This study provides a reference for the selection and utilization of high-quality cabbage varieties in Zhejiang region.
