What vegetables are heat-tolerant? Recommended varieties for summer 2020
The dog days of summer are coming soon, which means the hottest season of the year is arriving. For the vast number of farmer friends, this undoubtedly means facing huge difficulties in planting and production, because high temperatures will inevitably bring diseases. Especially for some varieties that are not heat-tolerant, they basically cannot resist the effects of high temperatures, and their growth will be limited. But some vegetable varieties are especially suitable for planting under hot, high temperatures. Let's learn about them together.
1. Degao Xiayang Chinese Cabbage
Farmers who have grown Chinese cabbage basically know that Chinese cabbage itself is not a heat-tolerant vegetable; most Chinese cabbage is cold-tolerant. But the demand for Chinese cabbage in summer is also very high, so by seizing the opportunity, farmer friends can earn better income. Degao Xiayang is a Chinese cabbage variety very suitable for planting in hot, high-temperature seasons. It can withstand high temperatures of 36°C, and it also has strong resistance to many common diseases of Chinese cabbage, such as downy mildew, viral disease, and soft rot.
2. Heat-resistant No. 1 Cabbage
For many years, cabbage cultivation in China has mainly relied on traditional spring cabbage and autumn cabbage, but because of concentrated market supply, prices are low when there is plenty of produce, so farmers' planting returns are poor. From July to September, however, cabbage is relatively scarce on the market, which can provide a good competitive advantage and allow it to sell at a high price. The Heat-resistant No. 1 Cabbage variety is suitable for summer cultivation in most areas of China, and it takes only 60-65 days from transplanting to harvest.
3. Siji Bawang Asparagus Lettuce
Siji Bawang asparagus lettuce can withstand high temperatures above 40°C, and it is resistant to bolting, has strong stress resistance, vigorous growth, especially strong disease resistance, and high yield. In addition, Siji Bawang asparagus lettuce has excellent market quality, with pale green flesh and a fresh, crisp, and tender taste. It is suitable for planting all over the country and is an ideal variety for planting in high-temperature areas.
4. Liangyou s166 Cucumber
When cucumbers are planted in summer, they are very likely to develop deformed cucumbers or fail to set fruit due to the effects of high temperatures. But during the growth process of Liangyou s166 cucumber, it is relatively heat-tolerant and also resistant to many common cucumber diseases such as downy mildew, powdery mildew, and Fusarium wilt. It sets many cucumbers, and the cucumbers it produces have long middle fruits and excellent market quality.
5. Xiafei Green-stemmed Bok Choy

At the same time, it is resistant to many diseases such as soft rot and downy mildew, and has good yield stability.
6. Yanxiu Broccoli
Most broccoli varieties on the market have very limited heat tolerance, and when planted in summer, they are more likely to fail to form heads. The Yanxiu broccoli variety, however, is completely different. It is relatively heat-tolerant, has upright plants, vigorous growth, and green heads, and its yield per mu can reach as high as 5800 jin. It performs excellently in both yield and quality.
Summer is usually the peak growing season for crops, but the effects of high temperatures can easily create unfavorable factors for their growth.
