DAVLIN

Storage Reliability: Why Bejo's Davlin Sets the Standard

In the late-maturing white cabbage segment, specifically focused on long-term storage, Dutch breeding by Bejo consistently sets industry benchmarks. The Davlin hybrid is the premier choice for producers aiming to supply fresh cabbage through late spring. Maturing in 120-130 days, this hybrid develops dense, uniform heads capable of maintaining market quality in professional cold storage for up to 10 months.

Agronomic Strengths and Yield Potential

The defining feature of Davlin is the balance between high head density and structural integrity, which prevents premature softening during extended storage. The deep dark green color remains intact even after months in storage, a vital characteristic for retail shelf appeal.

• Plant Density: The recommended range is 25-35 thousand plants per hectare. Density selection should be based on soil fertility; under intensive nutrient management, targeting the higher end of this range ensures uniform, medium-sized heads.
• Efficiency: The plant features a vigorous leaf canopy that provides robust protection against pests and sunscald. Its round-to-oval shape is highly optimized for mechanical harvesting and subsequent packing operations.

Who is this hybrid for?

Developed by Bejo Zaden B.V. and Elsoms Seeds, Davlin is a high-performance solution for commercial growers targeting the late-season vegetable market. If your business model relies on supplying high-quality cabbage during the March-May window, when fresh produce availability decreases, this hybrid is a significant strategic asset. While it is resilient to minor cultivation errors, maintaining strict temperature controls in storage is essential to unlock its full 8-10 month shelf-life potential.
