CADILLAC

A reliable choice for professional vegetable growers

The Cadillac cauliflower hybrid from the Swiss selection giant Syngenta is a tool designed for those planning a consistent production pipeline. The hybrid has established itself as a dependable solution for farms focused on dual-market distribution: fresh produce retail and deep processing (freezing).

Agronomic potential and field performance

The primary advantage of selecting Cadillac is the ability to harvest uniform, dense, round-flat heads during the summer-autumn season. With a head weight ranging from 0.5 to 1.0 kg, the hybrid demonstrates excellent uniformity, which significantly simplifies the harvesting and packaging process. The plant features a robust leaf canopy that effectively covers the curd, protecting it from sunscald and preserving its commercial appearance.

Application scenarios

• Fresh Market: snowy-white, firm heads maintain their appeal during transport and extended storage, making them ideal for premium retail displays.
• Processing: due to the dense structure of the head, Cadillac is perfectly suited for industrial freezing, maintaining the integrity of the florets after thawing.

By choosing Cadillac, a farmer invests in crop predictability. Syngenta has engineered a high threshold of stress tolerance against temperature fluctuations, which is critical in today's unstable climate. This is a reliable “workhorse” variety that minimizes the risk of losing marketability in the middle and end of the season.
