Geraclion F1 is a mid-season broccoli hybrid that matures 70-80 days after seedling transplanting. This hybrid is distinguished by its high adaptability to high temperatures, allowing for successful cultivation in hot conditions. The plants are tall, with a single stem and a powerful root system, well-suited for growing on poor soils provided moderate nitrogen fertilization is applied. The leaves are long, dark gray-green in color, weakly puffy, and wavy at the edges; the petiole is of medium length without anthocyanin coloring.
Geraclion F1 heads are of medium size, round-flat in shape, and have a dense structure. They are dark green, bumpy, without covering leaves, and feature excellent uniformity of small florets, which is particularly important for processing and freezing. The head mass ranges from 0.4 to 0.6 kg, and the hybrid's taste is considered excellent. In addition to the main head, the plant forms secondary heads, increasing the total yield.
The hybrid's yield reaches 2.5 kg per square meter at a planting density of 30-40 thousand plants per hectare. Geraclion F1 is recommended for use in home cooking, fresh consumption, and freezing. Due to its characteristics and heat resistance, this hybrid is a reliable choice for cultivation in various climatic conditions.
