Cabbage CHITA

Efficiency and Marketability with Takii Europe B.V.

When selecting genetics for the ultra-early season, consistency is the primary metric. The «Chita» hybrid from Takii Europe B.V. provides exactly that. With a maturity window of 50–60 days from transplanting, it fits perfectly into the intensive cultivation cycle. For any grower targeting the early fresh market, this hybrid offers a predictable yield of high-quality, uniform heads that meet retail standards without compromise.

Field Performance and Management

• Crop Specifications: The head weight of 1.0–2.0 kg is ideal for standard retail packaging. Its consistent round shape and vibrant green color ensure high shelf appeal.
• Planting Density: We recommend a planting density of 40,000 to 50,000 plants per hectare. This density ensures that each plant has enough space for proper leaf development, which is crucial for preventing humidity-related issues in the spring.
• Adaptability: «Chita» exhibits significant resilience against the temperature fluctuations typical of the early spring season, reducing the risk of premature bolting or stalled growth.

From an operational standpoint, «Chita» is a straightforward, low-maintenance choice. It is bred specifically for rapid turnover; while it offers a 1–2 month storage window, its real strength lies in being harvested and moved directly to the market. Whether used for fresh consumption or local processing, the crisp texture and flavor profile make it a reliable performer. By adhering to the recommended density and standard early-season cultivation practices, growers can rely on this Takii variety to maximize returns during the high-demand periods of the early agricultural season.
