Colored cabbage Borodin F1 — a mid-season hybrid developed by breeders of the Dutch company Hazera. The plant features vigorous growth, a strong leafy canopy, and high stress resistance, enabling it to fruit successfully even under adverse weather conditions such as drought, frost, and temperature fluctuations. This hybrid is intended for cultivation in the summer-autumn period in open ground, with technical maturity occurring 80-95 days after transplanting.
Plants form dense, snow-white, round heads with a wavy texture, weighing 1.5 to 2 kg. The heads are resistant to anthocyanin discoloration and fuzziness, ensuring high product quality. Thanks to their excellent covering ability, the heads remain clean and protected from contamination. The hybrid exhibits uniform ripening and low susceptibility to infections, contributing to a stable yield of high-quality heads.
Borodin F1 is suitable for both fresh markets and processing. The cabbage heads are versatile: they can be used for making fresh salads, stewing, frying, pickling, and freezing for winter. The cabbage withstands transportation well and retains its market appearance during short-term storage. Recommended planting density is 25-35 thousand plants per hectare, requiring pest control to maintain plant health.
