Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata f. alba) stands as an economically significant vegetable crop cultivated on a global scale. The life cycle encompasses four distinct vegetative stages: seedling, rosette, folding, and heading. Rosette leaves, contribute substantially to the energy allocation necessary for the development of the characteristic leafy head. This study delves, firstly, into a detailed morphological analysis to investigate the early developmental stages of cabbage seedlings, unravelling the intricate dynamics of their overall morphology. Secondly, an exploration was carried out into the quantities of assimilatory pigments within the cabbage seedlings which provides valuable aspects of early cabbage development. The third study delves into the influence of planting dates and densities on the morphological characteristics of cabbage plants during the vegetative phase. Through analyses of plant morphology, the study discerns nuanced developmental responses influenced by varied planting schedules. This research aims to contribute not only to the scientific understanding of white cabbage cultivation but also to practical implications for optimizing planting strategies.
