Hileia

Stable yields with minimal risks

When planning mid-season cabbage planting, the key issue is finding a balance between marketable appearance and disease resistance. The "Gileya" hybrid from "Agrosvit" private enterprise has become a predictable solution for us. This white cabbage hybrid reliably resists fusarium wilt, which significantly saves on fungicide costs.

Agronomic features and field performance

When growing "Gileya," we maintain a density of 30,000–35,000 plants per hectare. At these rates, heads form uniformly, reaching a marketable weight of 3–4 kg. The round shape of the head is ideal for both fresh market packaging and processing — the cabbage's density prevents it from crumbling during shredding.

• Vegetation period: 70–80 days after transplanting, allowing for quick harvests for late summer and autumn sales.
• Resistance: High threshold of resistance to fusarium wilt prevents crop loss in infected soils.
• Storage: Storage potential is 2–3 months, which is sufficient for selling the bulk of the harvest during the autumn period.

Practical tips

"Gileya" is a workhorse for farmers who value consistency. The green color of the head looks attractive on store shelves, and the lack of fusarium issues simplifies crop maintenance. With proper irrigation, the cabbage does not crack and maintains its marketable appearance even during sudden temperature drops, which is critical for our climate.
