Rutabaga is considered a hybrid of wild cabbage and turnip. The seeds of this cold-resistant vegetable germinate at a temperature of +1…+3 °C and withstand short-term cooling to -4 °C. With prolonged heat and drought, the fruits become tasteless. Therefore, the crop is planted early and grown until the onset of summer. The stem of the rutabaga is tall, straight, leafy. The lower leaves are pinnately dissected. The whole plant is bluish in color, the inflorescences are yellow.
