Astrus Plus

Focus on early harvest and long-term storage

The Astrus Plus white cabbage hybrid from Monsanto is a choice for growers focusing on efficient production cycles and market reliability. With a 50–60 day maturity cycle, this hybrid allows farms to hit the fresh market early while maintaining the flexibility to store the crop for up to 8 months.

Agronomic value in the field

The compact heads, weighing 0.5–1.0 kg, are ideal for modern retail and the HoReCa sector. Their round, bright green appearance appeals to consumers, while their density ensures minimal damage during post-harvest handling and transport. This weight range is perfect for individual buyers and helps optimize logistical costs.

Professional use scenarios

• Early Market Entry: Due to its rapid maturity, Astrus Plus is perfect for growers looking to capture the high-margin window at the start of the season.
• Supply Continuity: Its ability to store for up to 8 months allows producers to hold their stock until market conditions are most favorable, rather than rushing to sell after harvest.
• Retail Standardization: High uniformity across all plants makes sorting and packaging more efficient, reducing labor costs during post-harvest processing.

Choosing Astrus Plus from Monsanto means investing in predictable performance. Whether your strategy involves rapid sales to wholesalers or holding stock for long-term supply chains, this hybrid delivers the consistency and shelf-life required for high-profit commercial vegetable farming.
