CUSCO

Cusco broccoli F1 is a mid-early hybrid intended for cultivation during spring-summer and summer-autumn periods. The vegetative period ranges from 50 to 67 days after transplanting seedlings, allowing for a stable and abundant harvest within relatively short timeframes. The plant exhibits good field uniformity and synchronized ripening, facilitating harvest and enhancing its efficiency.

Cusco F1 heads are large, dense, and compact, with gray-green or dark-green flower heads in a distinctive dome shape. The weight of one head ranges from 450 to 700 grams. The flower heads demonstrate high resistance to stress factors such as increased ultraviolet radiation and high temperatures, and are not susceptible to flowering. Thanks to their sturdy stalks and dense structure, the heads can be harvested mechanically without damage, and when properly stored in a refrigerator, they retain freshness and flavor quality for up to one month.

The Cusco F1 hybrid is characterized by high resilience and tolerance to low temperatures, enabling cultivation under adverse climatic conditions with minimal labor input. The broccoli is rich in amino acids and antioxidants, making it beneficial for cardiovascular health and popular in dietetics and child nutrition. The recommended planting rate is 35,000 to 45,000 plants per hectare, ensuring maximum profitability.
