Arable farmers in the UK rarely grow more than one crop in a year, but horticulturalists may grow two or more crops in a year on the same soil, so the question of crop sequences is more intense for them, particularly as Brassica vegetables, such as cabbages and brussel sprouts, can leave large organic as well as mineral nitrogen residues.

Ensure that pest colonies in overwintering plants, particularly on Brussels sprouts and other brassicas, are removed where possible. Any plant remains from these crops must be composted or buried in a trench once cropping has finished, or before planting out new crops that the pests could colonize. 

Indeed, some forms of brassica can be picked at almost any time of year. Leafy crops include kale and cabbages for winter, spring, and summer use. The immature flowerheads of broccoli, cauliflowers, and sprouting broccoli are eaten Brussels sprouts develop their small, cabbagelike edible heads along a tall stem.

Direct proof regarding whether antimutagenic or anticarcinogenic effects also occur in humans under normal dietary conditions can only be obtained from studies with humans. Indeed, epidemiological studies indicate that consumption of fruits and vegetables is inversely associated with the risk of cancer. In particular, brassica vegetables such as cabbage, brussels sprouts, and broccoli have been attributed with beneficial health effects in humans. 

Rapeseed/Canola belongs to the turnip rutabaga, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, and mustard family of crops that can be grown at low temperatures and moderate humidity. Three species have been grown as oilseeds Brassica napus, known in Europe as rape, oil rape, Swede rape, and Argentine rape B. campestris, known as rapeseed, oil turnip, turnip rape, and Polish rape and B. juncea, known as leaf mustard, brown mustard, Oriental mustard, and Indian mustard. B. campestris was grown in India as early as 2000-1500 BC.

Figure 7.2 Distribution pattern of major glucosinolates in various vegetables belonging to Brassica oleracea. Fresh samples of the edible part of the vegetable were freeze-dried and analyzed for glucosinolate content by previously published methods. Data are mean pmols glucosinolate/g dry weight vegetable 50 varieties of broccoli, 4 varieties of Brussels sprouts, 6 varieties of cabbage, 3 varieties of cauliflower, and 2 varieties of kale.

The genera in the family of Brassicaceae (Table 1) include various types of brassica (cabbage, broccoli, brussels sprouts, kale, kohlrabi, pak choi, rape, turnip), mustard, and cress.
