Wild cabbage Alfredo F1

Consistent Yield in the Mid-Late Cabbage Segment

Alfredo F1 from the Dutch breeding company Bejo is the choice for growers who prioritize reliability over experimental risks. This white cabbage hybrid confidently occupies the mid-late market niche, demonstrating exceptional adaptability to various growing conditions. Unlike many finicky new varieties, Alfredo F1 is forgiving of minor agronomic mistakes, consistently producing high-quality, marketable heads.

Key Advantages and Resistance

The primary asset of this hybrid is its robust immune system. Strong resistance to Fusarium wilt allows farmers to plan harvests with confidence, even on fields with a traditionally high infection pressure. This significantly reduces the need for heavy fungicide applications, making your cultivation economics more transparent and efficient.

• Weight and Shape: The dense, round heads, weighing between 2.0 and 3.0 kg, are considered the gold standard for modern retail. These heads are easy to package, consumer-friendly, and durable during transport.
• Color and Quality: The attractive grey-green hue remains intact even after extended storage, while the internal structure is free of excessive coarseness, making this hybrid suitable for both processing (sauerkraut) and the fresh market.
• Maturity: A vegetation period of 80–90 days from transplanting allows for precise harvest scheduling.

Who is this hybrid for?

Alfredo F1 is a perfect tool for growers operating on multiple channels. It can be harvested at the end of the season for fresh market sales, or if market prices are low in autumn, it performs exceptionally well in storage for up to 6 months. With a recommended plant density of 40,000–50,000 plants per hectare, it delivers a predictable tonnage with high marketability. This is not the hybrid that will surprise you with record-breaking weight, but it is the variety that won't let you down when others succumb to moisture cracking or disease.
