Bloktor F1

Genetic Potential and Physiology

Bloktor F1 by Syngenta is a specialized solution designed for producers focused on the long-term storage market. The key feature of this white cabbage hybrid lies in its 120-130 day growing cycle, which allows the plant to form a highly compact internal head structure. This density is essential for mechanical durability and resistance to pathogen penetration during the storage process.

Phytosanitary Resistance

Fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum) remains a major threat to cabbage production profitability. Syngenta has integrated a robust genetic resistance to this disease into Bloktor F1. In practice, this minimizes the risk of harvest loss in the field and allows the crop to reach its full weight potential (2.0-3.0 kg) without the need for intensive fungicide applications against soil-borne infections.

Agrotechnical Guidelines

The recommended planting density is 35,000–40,000 plants per hectare. This density is optimal for achieving consistent, marketable head sizes suitable for both processing and retail. The characteristic blue-green leaf color indicates a well-developed waxy bloom, which acts as a natural barrier against moisture loss and pest damage. With a storage capacity of 6-8 months under proper conditions, Bloktor F1 offers high economic value for growers targeting winter and spring market supplies.
