Cercy F1 is a medium-maturing hybrid of cabbage developed by specialists of the Dutch company Rijk Zwaan. The maturation period is 75-90 days, allowing harvest three months after transplanting seedlings to the field. The plant forms a strong rosette with a well-developed blue-green leaf canopy that effectively protects heads from sunburn, moisture, and pests. Heads are uniformly vertical, compact, oval-shaped, white, with good closure and average weight of 1.5 to 3 kg. Due to these qualities, the fruits have an attractive sweet taste without bitterness or spiciness, making them ideal for fresh consumption, as well as for thermal processing, processing, and freezing.
The Cercy F1 hybrid is characterized by high yield — 8-10 kg per square meter, and can be successfully grown both in open ground and under temporary coverings, including plastic film, agrofiber, or greenhouses. The plant is resistant to heat, drought, temperature fluctuations, and leaf diseases, ensuring high field health and minimizing the risk of head cracking. Thanks to its strong root system and vigorous growth, the hybrid shows uniform head maturation and excellent storability, maintaining freshness and market appearance for a long time.
Cercy F1 cabbage is intended for fresh market use and processing. Its fruits are easily transported without mechanical damage, allowing delivery to markets or storage facilities while maintaining high quality. The recommended planting density is 25-35 thousand plants per hectare, which contributes to maximum yield and efficient use of area. This hybrid is an excellent choice for farmers seeking a stable and high-quality yield of cabbage with good taste characteristics and high commercial appeal.
