Colored cauliflower Alston F1 is an early-maturing hybrid developed by the Japanese company Sakata, intended for cultivation in spring-summer and autumn periods in open ground, as well as under plastic film and agrofabric. The vegetative period ranges from 60 to 85 days depending on growing conditions, allowing early harvests as early as May and June. This hybrid is distinguished by high productivity and stress resistance, especially well-tolerating high temperatures, making it an optimal choice for summer rotation.
Alston F1 plants are characterized by a strong root system, ensuring effective nutrition and rapid growth. The leaves are vertical and tightly wrap around the head, reliably protecting the flower heads from sunburn and pests. The heads are dense, bright white, weighing from 1 to 1.5 kg. This structure ensures high uniformity of maturation and ease of harvest.
The hybrid has good disease resistance, but to achieve maximum yield, it is recommended to observe crop rotation and agronomic norms, including timely watering, weeding, and application of complex fertilizers. The planting rate is 35-40 thousand plants per hectare. Due to its characteristics and adaptability, cauliflower Alston F1 is a reliable choice for farmers aiming to obtain high-quality and stable colored cauliflower yields.
