Ten Egyptian ecotypes, of cabbage (Brassica oleraceae var. capitata L.) were assessed for yield, earliness and some quality characteristics at the Experimental Farm, Faculty of Agriculture, Sohag University during two successive seasons, 2009/2010 and 2010/2011. There were differences among genotypes for yield and earliness studied characters. "El-Fayum" and "El- Minofia" accessions were the earliest to 50% head formation and took the lowest number of days to maturity and ending their life cycle. While "El- Sharkia" accession was the latest to 50% head formation and had the highest number of days to maturity and ending their life cycle. "El-Sharkia" and "El-Giza" accessions produced the highest Gross Yield and Marketable head weight. "El-Dakhalia" accession gave the lowest Gross Yield. while, ‘El-Fayum’ accession produced the lowest Marketable head weight. The results of this study could be useful in breeding programs for improving cabbage production in Upper Egypt.
