Autumn sowing Chinese cabbage cultivation hopes that Chinese cabbage varieties are disease-resistant, high-yield, high-quality and resistant to storage and transportation. Such a perfect variety does not exist yet, and the varieties with strong disease resistance generally have poor economic characters and quality; Varieties with good economic characters and quality have poor disease resistance. Therefore, suitable varieties should be selected according to the purpose, time and environmental conditions of cultivation.

Chinese cabbage used in late autumn and early winter in the north, as well as Chinese cabbage used earlier than the normal harvest period in other areas, should choose flowering or heading varieties with short growth period, early maturity, heat resistance, disease resistance and no storage tolerance, such as Bai Lu No.6 and Jingxiaza 56. Varieties with long growth period, high yield and storability should be selected for storing Chinese cabbage eaten in winter and spring, such as Shuangqing 156 Chinese cabbage, Bai Lu No.3, Bai Lu No.8, Qingza Zhongfeng, Xiaqiuwang, Changle, Bai Lu 1 1 etc.

The suitable days of Chinese cabbage growing season vary from place to place, so when choosing varieties, we should choose varieties with the same growing days. A variety of late-maturing Chinese cabbage varieties can be selected in North China, such as Bai Lu No.3, Bai Lu No.8, Lu No.6, Qingza Zhongfeng, Bai Lu 1 1, Gaokang No.3 and so on. In northern Xinjiang, Ningxia and other areas with short frost-free period, short growth period and cold climate, varieties with early maturity, strong winterness and difficult bolting should be selected, such as Bai Lu 1 and Jingxiaoza 56 Chinese cabbage.

When selecting varieties, all localities should also pay attention to the origin of Chinese cabbage varieties. Oval Chinese cabbage originated in the maritime climate zone. Therefore, this type of varieties, such as Bai Lu No.2 and Bai Lu No.3, should be selected in coastal areas with mild and humid climate and moderate temperature change. In continental climate zone, flat-headed varieties suitable for mild climate, large temperature difference between day and night, abundant sunshine, dry air and drastic temperature change should be selected, such as Bai Lu 1 and Bai Lu No.5. In areas with mild and humid climate, but frequent cold waves and drastic climate changes, direct cross varieties with strong adaptability should be selected, such as Changfeng 1 and Changfeng 3.

In the case of fertile soil and sufficient fertilizer and water, large-area nodulation varieties should be selected, such as Bai Lu No.8 and Bai Lu No.3.. On the contrary, small varieties should be selected. Chinese cabbage varieties with dark green leaves are resistant to diseases, but their quality is poor; Varieties with white or light green leaves have good quality but poor disease resistance. When choosing, we should consider the incidence of cultivation sites.

China is the origin of Chinese cabbage, which is rich in variety resources and has a long history of production. Farmers fix suitable varieties according to local climatic conditions, cultivation techniques and cultivation seasons. This is a production habit that is difficult to change. Consistent with production habits, local consumers have certain requirements for the shape, color, leaf thickness and flavor of Chinese cabbage. This is more obvious in Shandong province, the main producing area of Chinese cabbage. The eastern coastal areas of Shandong Province like to eat oval varieties, the western areas like to eat flat-headed varieties, and the northern areas like to eat straight-tube varieties. Therefore, in planting, varieties should be determined according to market demand.
