Centoventina Turnip Tops
Centoventina Turnip Tops is a late variety and one of the most productive, requiring about 120 days from sowing to harvest. It has large leaves and rounded heads, and is especially suited to Southern Italy.
The Centoventina Turnip Tops Plant
Its botanical name is Brassica rapa subsp. sylvestris, belonging to the Cruciferae family (Brassicaceae). Being the longest-cycle variety among turnip tops, centoventina requires more extensive preparation, to be planned carefully before the arrival of the first hard frosts.
Plants are cut 5-10 centimeters from the ground: this allows the plant to send out numerous side shoots from the base of the stem, extending productivity over time.
How to Sow Centoventina Turnip Tops
Sowing is done directly in open ground from September through the end of October, in rows about 30 centimeters apart. Sowing in early September typically results in harvest in early January, about 120 days later.
How to Grow Centoventina Turnip Tops
Centoventina turnip tops prefer well-drained soil with a near-neutral pH, in a sunny position. Being a variety especially suited to Southern Italy, in northern regions the risk of early frosts can compromise completion of the long growing cycle.
Watering should stay regular during the early growth stages, then decrease with the arrival of autumn rains. Harvest when the flower heads are still closed, cutting the plants a few centimeters from the ground.
Tips for Growing Centoventina Turnip Tops
Given the long growing cycle, it is essential to plan sowing well ahead of winter, to prevent the plant from suffering cold before completing its development. After the first cutting, maintaining supportive feeding encourages the emission of subsequent side shoots.
Diseases and Pests of centoventina turnip tops
Like other Brassicaceae, it can be subject to attacks by cabbage white caterpillars and aphids, controllable with Bacillus thuringiensis treatments and natural garlic or nettle macerates. It is important to avoid waterlogging, which favours root rot and fungal diseases such as downy mildew.
Properties of centoventina turnip tops
Centoventina turnip tops are rich in vitamin C, fiber, calcium and minerals, with a low calorie content that makes them ideal for a balanced diet. The heads and tender stem with leaves are a traditional ingredient in Southern Italian cuisine.
