2. Defination of cabbage
A cultivated plant eaten as a vegetable, having thick
green or purple leaves surrounding a spherical heart
or head of young leaves . It include in the family of
cruciferous vegetables.

5. Pollination behaviour of cabbage
Pollination: The transfer of pollen to a stigma,
ovule,flower,or plant to allow fertilization.
Cabbage is a cross pollinated crop because of
sporophytic self - incompatibility, and honey bees
play an important role in its pollination. TThough
Asian honey bees,Apis cerana f,are used in
pollination of cabbage, the rate of visitation,
behavior, pollinator efficacy, and impact on seed set
are to be determined.
