Cabbage Arcticus

Sakata Artikus: Premium Quality Cabbage for Long-Term Storage

The Japanese selection of Sakata is a gold standard in modern horticulture, and the Artikus white cabbage hybrid is a testament to this expertise. Designed for professionals who demand predictability, Artikus eliminates the guesswork often associated with cabbage production, delivering consistent quality even in challenging environments.

Built-in Resistance: Beating Fusarium and Thrips

One of the most persistent threats to profitability in cabbage production is Fusarium wilt and damage caused by thrips. Artikus offers high genetic resistance to these issues, significantly reducing the need for intensive chemical intervention and protecting your yield from cosmetic defects that would otherwise render the product unsellable.

Performance and Storage Specs

• Flexible Harvest Window: With a maturation period ranging from 90 to 140 days, Artikus provides the flexibility needed to align your harvest with peak market demand.
• Market Readiness: The uniform, round heads typically weigh between 2.0 and 5.0 kg, hitting the "sweet spot" for both supermarket retail chains and processing facilities.
• Superior Shelf Life: The standout feature of Artikus is its ability to be stored for 6–8 months. This makes it an invaluable asset for farmers aiming to supply the market during late winter and early spring when high-quality supply is scarce.

Who Should Choose Artikus?

This hybrid is an optimal choice for commercial growers focusing on the long-term market. By maintaining a recommended plant density of 35,000–40,000 plants per hectare, you ensure that the heads reach their full potential size and density. If your goal is to minimize risks from soil-borne diseases while maximizing your ability to store crops for a premium spring sale, Artikus is a top-tier investment for your field.
