Asten F1

Asten F1 cabbage is a mid-early hybrid developed by the Japanese company Sakata Seed. This variety is distinguished by its high uniformity of maturity and early maturing - the period from seedling transplanting to harvest is approximately 60-65 days. The heads have a dome-shaped form, dense and snow-white, providing excellent taste quality and market appeal for fresh produce. Head weight varies from 1.5 to 2.0 kg, making the hybrid convenient for packaging and processing.

Asten F1 is well adapted for spring-summer cultivation and also suitable for summer and autumn rotations. The plant exhibits high stress resistance and ability to tolerate high temperatures, which distinguishes it from other cabbage hybrids. Leaves tightly wrap around the head, providing reliable protection against sunburn and pests. A strong root system facilitates efficient uptake of nutrients from the soil, positively affecting growth and yield.

For successful cultivation, it is recommended to follow agronomic norms: planting density is 35-40 thousand plants per hectare, with options for cultivation under plastic film, agrovoc, or open ground. Timely watering, weeding, and application of complex fertilizers are essential. Despite its disease resistance, maintaining crop rotation and agronomic practices helps sustain plant health and stable yields. Asten F1 hybrid is ideal for obtaining early and high-quality cabbage harvests.
