12 of 12 chinese cabbage varieties

The average and top yields in tonnes per hectare come from the trials each variety went through to be registered with the NSIC, and from what the seed companies say about their own seed.

What farmers harvest today can be different. Newer harvest records, the season, the place, the soil, the water and the care all move these numbers over time.

So use them to compare varieties, not as a promise for your field. Ask your seller or your agriculturist how the variety did on farms near you in the last few seasons.

How to Choose a Chinese cabbage Variety

Pechay Baguio heads best in cool places. In the lowlands, pick a heat tolerant hybrid and plant in the cool months.

Days to harvest

Days from transplanting to harvest. A shorter crop frees the field sooner and dodges more of the weather, while a longer one often fills more.

Yield

Trial yields come from well managed plots in several places, so treat them as a ranking more than a promise. Compare varieties within the same type.

Ratings

R means resistant and MR moderately resistant. MS and S mean the variety took clear or heavy damage in the trials, so scout it often.

Registered or not

A registered variety passed national trials. One that is not on the registry shows only its seller's numbers, so test it on a small area first.
