Abstract: In order to evaluate the applying value of a newly bred F₁ hybrid ‘#25’ of Chinese kale, its agronomic traits and flower stalk quality were compared with those of 5 F₁ and 3 conventional varieties planted in Guangdong. The results indicated that: there were significant differences in yield, plant characters, flower stalk traits and total sugar, protein and crude fiber contents among 9 tested varieties, except for vitamin C content of flower stalk. Comparing with the 3 conventional varieties, 6 F₁ varieties showed more uniform growth and relatively concentrated harvest period of flower stalk, in which the main and side flower stalk yields of ‘#25’, ‘Shunbao’ and ‘Qiancui’ ranked top three and exhibited obvious yield advantage, and the yields of ‘Lvbao’ and ’Xiacui’ were lower, but had early maturity with higher stem-leaf ratio of flower stalk, and a good appearance characteristic of flower stalk. Through comprehensive comparison, the newly bred F₁ ‘#25’ has the advantages of vigorous growth, good plant type, high flower stalk yield, relatively better commodity traits and quality, and consequently it is worthy of popularization and application in the kale-growing areas of south China.
