AQUILON F1

Reliable Yield for Long-Term Storage

For growers specializing in winter-to-spring white cabbage supply, selecting a hybrid that ensures consistent quality is vital. The AKVILON F1 from Nasko is designed for predictability. This hybrid combines high yield potential with robust field resistance, effectively reducing the need for aggressive fungicide applications.

Agronomic Strengths

The main advantage of this hybrid is its balanced 120–130 day growing cycle. This duration allows the plant to develop a dense, heavy head (2.0–5.0 kg), which is perfectly suited for both the fresh market and commercial processing. The rounded shape of the head facilitates efficient logistics and stacking in storage facilities.

• Disease Resistance: Unlike many standard varieties, AKVILON F1 shows strong resistance to Fusarium wilt and Alternaria, which is critical for soils with high infection pressure. Furthermore, it exhibits natural tolerance to aphid and thrips infestations, significantly improving the marketable appearance of the heads.
• Storage Capacity: The hybrid maintains its high quality for 3 to 6 months after harvest. This makes it an ideal choice for growers who aim to supply the market when demand peaks and prices are at their highest.

Cultivation Insights

For optimal results, a planting density of 35,000–40,000 plants per hectare is recommended. This density allows each plant sufficient space to form large, high-density heads without compromising quality. AKVILON F1 is a resilient variety that performs reliably even in challenging seasons, making it an excellent investment for agricultural businesses prioritizing stability and low maintenance.
