Cabbage BIRYUSA PLUS

Technological potential of the 'Biryuza Plus' hybrid

The breeding work of the German company Satimex Quedlinburg is focused on creating genetically stable varieties capable of maintaining high market quality under long-term storage conditions. 'Biryuza Plus', supplied by Ooo Agroplaneta, represents a high-performing late white cabbage variety optimized for both large-scale processing facilities and retail trade.

Morphophysiology and maturity

The growing period is 130–140 days after transplanting. This duration is essential for the accumulation of high dry matter and sugar content, which is a critical factor for shelf life. The head features a precise round shape, minimizing mechanical damage during harvest and warehouse logistics. Weight parameters in the 2.0–3.0 kg range are considered optimal; this size is highly demanded in retail chains due to its convenience for packaging and minimal waste.

Storage and processing architecture

The key engineering achievement by the breeder in this hybrid is the leaf structure. The tight layering of leaves allows for record-breaking storage performance: 8–10 months without significant loss of turgor. In practical terms, this ensures:

• Minimal post-storage handling and sorting costs.
• Consistent raw material quality for industrial processing (sauerkraut, shredding) even in late spring.
• High head density, eliminating internal voids.

Choosing 'Biryuza Plus' from Ooo Agroplaneta is a strategic decision for growers aiming for the long-term market window, when produce pricing typically peaks in the second half of the season.
