AROS F1

Czech Precision in Long-Term Storage

The AROS F1 white cabbage from Moravoseed is a top-tier choice for commercial growers who prioritize post-harvest shelf life and market stability. Developed by Moravoseed in collaboration with John Bertinat Seeds, this hybrid is designed to survive the harsh conditions of long-term storage while retaining its culinary appeal.

Key Technical Specifications

• Maturity: 130–140 days after transplanting. This medium-late cycle ensures the heads reach peak maturity before the onset of winter, avoiding late-summer pest pressure.
• Head Characteristics: The heads are oval-round, weighing between 2.0 and 3.0 kg. This size is highly desirable for modern retail, as it minimizes handling losses and fits perfectly into standard packaging.
• Storage Potential: Up to 6–8 months. With the right climate control, AROS F1 maintains its structural integrity and leaf crispness well into the spring.

Why AROS F1 Stands Out

Unlike many ultra-late hybrids that can become too fibrous or "woody," AROS F1 strikes a balance between density and culinary quality. It is optimized for producers who have specialized storage facilities and want to capitalize on late-season market prices.

Strengths: Consistent head weight, high uniformity, and excellent disease resistance during the maturation phase. Management Tip: As with many high-yielding hybrids, nitrogen management is crucial. Over-fertilization can result in larger heads, but at the expense of storage durability, so a balanced fertility program is essential.

Choosing AROS F1 means investing in a reliable, high-performing crop that minimizes waste and maximizes returns for the long-haul grower.
