In biology, the BBCH-scale for leafy vegetables forming heads describes the phenological development of leafy vegetables forming heads, such as cabbage, chinese cabbage, lettuce and endive, using the BBCH-scale. The phenological growth stages and BBCH-identification keys of leafy vegetables forming heads are:
Brassica oleracea is a plant of the family Brassicaceae, also known as wild cabbage in its uncultivated form. The species evidently originated from feral populations of related plants in the Eastern Mediterranean , where it was most likely first cultivated.
Cabbage heads are generally picked during the first year of the plant's life cycle, but plants intended for seed are allowed to grow a second year and must be kept separate from other cole crops to prevent cross-pollination. Cabbage is prone to several nutrient deficiencies, as well as to multiple pests, and bacterial and fungal diseases.

The main kind of cymose inflorescence is the cyme (pronounced / s aɪ m /), from the Latin cyma in the sense 'cabbage sprout', from Greek kuma 'anything swollen'). [9] [10] Cymes are further divided according to this scheme: Only one secondary axis: monochasium. Secondary buds always develop on the same side of the stem: helicoid cyme or bostryx
